2024 Grand Council Assembly and Traditional Election Process

The Anishinabek Nation Chief-in-Assembly recently elected a new Grand Council Chief and Deputy Council Chief.  For over two decades,  Anishinabek Elders and Knowledge Keepers have been reclaiming and refining the Nation's Traditional Stand-up Election process.  In this episode, listen in to how Anishinaabemowin, songs, teachings and ceremony are woven into the process that played out on the Grand Council floor.  The Assembly also passed two resolutions impacting Anishinabek Nation Governance: a political office manual, and a restructuring of the Regional Deputy Grand Council Chief system back to the Regional Chiefs system.
