Kyra Wilson elected as new grand chief of Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs has elected Kyra Wilson, a former chief of Long Plain First Nation, as its new leader, filling the role left empty by the sudden death of Cathy Merrick last fall.
Wilson became the second woman elected to lead the organization, which represents 63 First Nations across Manitoba, after a decisive vote Wednesday.
She will replace Merrick, who died suddenly in September and was the first woman to lead the AMC. Betsy Kennedy, chief of War Lake First Nation, had been acting as grand chief.
Wilson beat out three other candidates — former York Factory First Nation chief Leroy Constant, Sapotaweyak Cree Nation Coun. Bava Dhillon and former Peguis First Nation chief Glenn Hudson — with 37 votes out of the 61 cast, more than the rest of the field combined.
Wilson has been an advocate for the search of the Prairie Green landfill, north of Winnipeg, for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, two of the women murdered by serial killer Jeremy Skibicki. Both women were originally from Long Plain First Nation.
Excavation work at the landfill as part of that search began last month.
In 2022, Wilson became the first female chief elected to lead Long Plain since the 1970s. Last year, she lost a bid to become grand chief of the Southern Chiefs’ Organization, losing to incumbent Jerry Daniels.
