Kevin Lloyd Daniels is Currently the Interim National Chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP).  He was elected as National Vice - Chief by delegate vote at the 2008 CAP Annual General Assembly for a four-year term.

Kevin was born in Lestock, Saskatchewan in 1961, and lived on the road allowance near the community of Punnichy, on the outskirts of the Gordon First Nation.  In 1963, Kevin’s family was forced by the Saskatchewan government to relocate to Regina. As a result, they became part of the first wave of off-reserve Indians to populate the North Central neighbourhood, now given the unfortunate distinction as the worst neighbourhood in Canada. 

Kevin’s second cousin was the late Harry Daniels, former National Chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples.  The name of Daniels is well known in Aboriginal politics, and Kevin began forging his political pedigree at an early age.   

At age sixteen, he became a member of Riel Local #33 of the Association of Métis and Non-Status Indians of Saskatchewan.  Kevin was elected Vice President of his local at age nineteen and went on to found Canada's first Aboriginal youth organization, the Association of Métis and Non-Status Indian Youth of Saskatchewan. 

Kevin is a vocal defender of Aboriginal rights, and this capacity he participated in several First Ministers’ Conferences on Aboriginal Constitutional Matters throughout the 1980s.  In 1985, he gave the opening statement at the First Ministers’ Conference on Aboriginal Constitutional Matters in celebration of the "Centenary of the North West Resistance at Batoche" and "International Year of the Youth 

Kevin remained the leader of the Association of Métis and Non-Status Indian Youth until 1987 when the Métis left the organization to form their own organization following the failure of the final First Ministers’ Conference. 

He has remained engaged in several activist causes since then before founding the Aboriginal Peoples Council of Regina, a local of the Aboriginal Affairs Coalition of Saskatchewan (AACS).  He is a member in good standing with the AACS. 

Interim National Chief Daniels is one of Canada’s leading proponents for the eradication of native gang violence.  He will play a lead role in mobilizing the national efforts of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples in seeking to stem the tragic and growing tide of senseless gang violence across Canada.
