Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador

The Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador (Assemblée des Premières Nations Québec-Labrador, AFNQL) is a political organization representing the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador. It represents these First Nations to the Secrétariat aux affaires autochtones du Québec and to the ministry of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs of Canada. The AFNQL is composed of representatives from 43 communities in the Abenaki, Algonquin, Atikamekw, Cree, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Innu, Huron-Wendat and Naskapi nations, as well as from the Mohawks. The AFNQL does not represent the Inuit or any Inuit community; they are represented by Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

The Assembly meets about 4 times a year to give mandates to its Bureau and to the Commissions it has set up. From 1985 to 1992, the elected chief of the Assembly was Konrad Sioui. Since 1992 it has been Ghislain Picard. The AFNQL is attached to the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) whose office is located in Ottawa. The chief of the AFNQL is a member of the AFN executive and can be appointed as the bearer of national files (ex. international, education, health, finance, etc.).
