OTTAWA — Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald says former senator Murray Sinclair will help the organization with conflict resolution next year. 

Archibald announced the move today in Ottawa, where chiefs are gathered for a three-day assembly. 

In her opening remarks, the national chief says the organization cannot spend another gathering embroiled in turmoil and warned that “our people are watching.”

Archibald was referring to a general meeting that was held in Vancouver in July not long after the AFN’s executive committee and board of directors voted to suspend her leadership.
