Aanii kina wiiya,

As we reflect on B’Maakonigan’s journey from its inception in October 2022 to the present, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the collective achievements that have shaped our path. This Annual Report highlights the milestones we’ve reached and reaffirms our commitment to advancing self-governance, strengthening community engagement, and honouring Anishinabek identity.

In our early stages, we laid a strong foundation by establishing our operational framework and selecting our board executive including G’Maa Scott McLeod as Chairperson, G’Maa Lloyd Myke as Vice-Chairman, and G’Maa-kwe Rhonda Williams-Lovett as Secretary-Treasurer. Their leadership was instrumental in guiding our initial priorities, including advocating for amendments to the Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement (ANGA) and negotiating fiscal agreements to support our readiness. In October 2024, we welcomed G’Maa Lloyd Myke as Chair of B’Maakonigan, and G’Maa Roque as Vice-Chair.
