• Health
• Justice
• Indigenous rights
• Lands
• Infrastructure
• Environment
• Education
• Language

"It’s great that we get to hit the ground running and attend the AFN AGA during the first week of the new term. In particular, it’s a golden opportunity to meet with Federal Ministers and begin to apply pressure on some of our political files," said Ohenton Irate ne Ratitsenhaienhs Cody Diabo. "This is a great networking opportunity for the Kahnawakehronon Ratitsenhaienhs to learn about what the AFN, as a collective and other communities, individually, are working on."

The Ratitsenhaienhs will resume their regularly scheduled orientation activities on Friday, July 12, 2024.
