MNN. Apr. 24, 2018. The Assembly of First Nations, the national, provincial and territorial INDIAN organizations and band and tribal councils are terrorist organizations.

AFN and the others belong on the list of agents of repression who carry out the thuggery for the corporate cartel of the invaders.
