The fall Assembly of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations will not address the forensic audit of the organization.
Indigenous Services Canada recently released the findings of a financial audit that brought into question $34 million in spending over a five-year period.
The FSIN has maintained all the spending flagged in the audit is above board.
At the FSIN Assembly in Yorkton today, discussion on the audit was not on the agenda and some chiefs asked for that item to be added.
After some discussion on the matter, question was called and chiefs voted in favour to move on with the agenda without the forensic audit as an item.
Some chiefs said the audit was already discussed at the PAGC Assembly earlier this week, but detractors say that was more of a presentation rather than a discussion with a clear path forward.
In the meantime, the FSIN Assembly will run today and tomorrow in Yorkton with several other resolutions on the agenda
The resolutions include the establishment of an international Treaty House, a formal invitation to King Charles III to the 150th anniversary celebration of the signing of Treaty 6, and attempts to repatriate important Indigenous artifacts from the Hudson Bay Company.
Other resolutions include mandating a study for the economic impact First Nations people have on towns and cities in the province, and a taskforce to work on establishing First Nations control of their own citizenship.
