About the Book

Chapters: Assembly of First Nations Leadership Conventions, David Ahenakew, Georges Erasmus, Phil Fontaine, George Manuel, Ovide Mercredi, Shawn Atleo, Matthew Coon Come, Walter Dieter, Noel Starblanket, Delbert Riley. Excerpt: Assembly of First Nations (National Indian Brotherhood before 1982) leadership conventions are held every three years to elect the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations . Each chief of a First Nation in Canada is eligible to cast a vote. Currently there are 633 eligible voters. AFN rules state that a candidate needs 60 % of the votes to win the election. If multiple candidates are on the ballot, the candidate with the fewest number of votes on each ballot is dropped until one candidate has reached the required percentage of votes. Additionally, any candidate who receives less than 15 per cent of the vote on a ballot is automatically dropped. If only two candidates remain, however, the candidate with fewer votes is not dropped from the ballot automatically, but rather the race continues to another ballot until the leading candidate reaches 60 per cent or the trailing candidate voluntarily concedes. Notably, for example, the race in 2009 went through six successive ballots on which the two remaining candidates, Shawn Atleo and Perry Bellegarde, were effectively deadlocked, with roughly 50 per cent of the vote each, before Atleo finally pulled ahead to win on the eighth ballot. 1968 Winner: Walter Dieter 1970 Winner: George Manuel 1972 Winner: George Manuel 1974 Winner: George Manuel 1976 Held in Whitehorse, Yukon on September 16, 1976.
