Which organization represents many but not all First Nations in Canada?

• A. The United Nations
• B. The Assembly of First Nations
• C. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce
• D. The Canadian Federation of Students

Answer: (B)

A national voice for First Nations in Canada is provided by the Assembly of First Nations. It acts as the national advocacy body, bringing together many First Nations chiefs to discuss shared concerns and to push for policy changes on issues like treaties, land rights, governance, education, and health. Membership is voluntary, so while it includes many Nations, it does not include every single First Nation—some are part of regional councils or operate independently. It’s also important to note that other Indigenous groups have their own national organizations, such as Inuit and Métis, so they aren’t part of the Assembly of First Nations. The other options don’t fit because they serve different publics: the United Nations is a global body, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce represents business, and the Canadian Federation of Students represents university students.
