Wendake, December 6, 2021 – The Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL) congratulates the new President of Quebec Native Women (QNW) elected yesterday at their General Assembly in Montreal.
“On behalf of the AFNQL Chiefs, I would like to congratulate Marjolaine Étienne on her election as President of QNW,” said Ghislain Picard, Chief of the AFNQL. “Ms. Étienne has tremendous political experience and will be an excellent spokesperson for all Indigenous women and girls in our region. She brings a wealth of knowledge and has a great professional profile, having worked among others, for the United Nations and for her community, Mashteuiatsh. I look forward to working with her and supporting the QNW in their priorities.
The AFNQL would also like to express its gratitude to Ms. Viviane Michel, who is leaving the position of President of QNW, a position she has held since 2012 and to which she has devoted so much energy and passion. We wish her good luck in her future projects.
