The Indigenous delegation headed to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis has delayed its trip over growing concerns about the Omicron COVID-19 variant, according to Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief RoseAnne Archibald.

Archibald made the announcement to a virtual gathering of chiefs Tuesday morning.

“The trip was planned for the week of December 18 but now has been postponed out of concerns over the threat of the new COVID-19 variant,” said Archibald.

Between 25 to 30 Indigenous people were expected to be part of the delegation scheduled to meet with Pope Francis. The delegation was composed of elders, knowledge keepers and residential school survivors and youth.
