The Assembly of First Nations' Elders Council includes representaties from each of AFN's ten regions, representing each province and territory. The Elders Council plays an important role in all facets of the AFN and its operations. They are also the keepers of our traditions, values, languages, and history. Elders are our guides to our future. They are leaders in our community; they speak with honour and with a great deal of pride. Elders are our teachers and are instrumental in advancing First Nations priorities.
