Larry Phillip (Phil) Fontaine was born on the Sagkeeng First Nation at the Fort Alexander Reserve about 150 km north of Winnipeg. The tranquility of this home was rocked when he was taken to a residential school where he suffered physical and sexual abuse. His early life left him an angry young man who turned his anger to advocacy for his people. His voice in their cause grew stronger as he rose from band chief to Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs to national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
A graduate from the University of Manitoba, Fontaine served three terms as national chief from 1997-2000 and 2003-2009. During the intervening years he served as chief of the Indian Claims Commission and was instrumental in securing a land claims settlement worth $94.6 million. Perhaps his most important achievement was the 2005 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. This agreement included establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and more than $5 billion in benefits to the survivors of the residential schools. For his work in the advancement of aboriginal rights, Fontaine has been awarded both the Order of Manitoba and the Order of Canada.
