"Of course, there was the outgoing regional chief Bill Traverse, who is a member of the Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation, with a tremendous record of working for the First Nations community in Manitoba. Dennis Cameron of the Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve, Reynold Cook of Sapotaweyak Cree Nation, Kevin Hart of Nischawayasihk Cree Nation, Chris Henderson of Black River First Nation, and Kenneth Young of OCN." Hart, a devoted family man, wants to keep the focus on missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Initially, Hart was interested in running for the position of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) grand chief but after gauging the interest among chiefs throughout the province was asked to consider running for AFN regional chief. Though Hart has experience working for a variety of Aboriginal organizations, this represents his first elected post of a large First Nations organization. The AFN is the largest First Nations organization representing the more than 620 chiefs from across the country and their interests on a national level with a dedicated office located in Ottawa. Kevin T harT Current occupation: Newly elected representative of the Assembly of First Nations regional chief Age: 43 From: Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation Lives in: Sagkeeng First Nation with wife and children Previous employers: Circle of Life Thunderbird House board member, North American Indigenous Games, Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, Assembly of First Nations, Manitoba government Though Kevin T Hart bested a field of candidates that included more experienced politicians and the incumbent for Assembly of First Nations regional chief, he was quite humble and honoured the other candidates.
