GATINEAU, QUE. — The B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations has resigned as head of the assembly’s missing and murdered women portfolio after posting a picture with sexual undertones on social media.

Shane Gottfriedson has told a special meeting of chiefs that the post — a picture of his legs with an emoji in his groin area — was not his finest moment.

Gottfriedson says he spoke to AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde directly about the matter.

Bellegarde hugged Gottfriedson after he apologized to the meeting.
