The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs lobbies for and raises awareness of Indigenous rights in Manitoba.

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is a provincial Indigenous lobbying organization dedicated to protection and promotion of Indigenous and treaty rights in Manitoba. Since before Europeans arrived in what eventually became Manitoba, First Nations had formed several governing structures. During the late 1960s, Indigenous activism became more widespread, especially after the 1969 White Paper. This culminated in the creation of the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood (MIB) which sought to protect and promote Indigenous rights in Manitoba. Overtime, MIB experienced internal division due to regional interests, which led to its dissolution in the early 1980s. The northern chiefs form Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakinak (MKO) while the southern chiefs form the First Nations Confederacy out of MIB’s remains. During the mid-1980s, the need for a province wide political organization became apparent. Thus, the AMC was created to fulfill this need in 1988.
