Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Derek Fox had been suspended in February by the deputy grand chiefs for allegedly violating the organization’s code of conduct
“After review of the investigation report, and hearing from Derek Fox, NAN chiefs-in-assembly accepted the report and directed that Derek Fox is to be removed from the position of grand chief,” NAN said in a statement.
Mr. Fox came under fire last December when he was called out for allegations of abusive behaviour toward Indigenous women by another chief at the Assembly of First Nations chiefs meeting in Ottawa. That prompted managerial staff at NAN to write a letter to the organization’s human-resources department and health and safety committee requesting support for any staff who might have been triggered by the calling-out incident.
