From the AFN, we would obviously want survivors to be a part of the board. The whole truth and reconciliation process is driven by survivors. It's really important that they are survivors, but then again all of us are in some way intergenerational trauma survivors as a result of that. Having a real, deep understanding of the trauma-informed approach that these kinds of organizations have to take is important.
Obviously, from a first nation perspective, we want diversity, which would include a female representative, a male representative, or perhaps a 2SL representative. Diversity within first nations also exists. We would like to see the board comprise not only AFN people, whom we appoint, but all people, and that there would be a diversity there. Those would be my top two criteria in terms of the selection process right now.
