Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Derek Fox, who was once a first-round pick of the Soo Greyhounds, had been suspended in February by the deputy grand chiefs for allegedly violating the organization’s code of conduct
The Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, Northern Ontario’s largest Indigenous political organization, was removed from office Thursday after its chiefs-in-assembly reviewed a report into misconduct allegations against him.
One of the chiefs present said 34 out of 36 chiefs at the review voted to terminate the grand chief, and that Mr. Fox failed to show any remorse or apologize. The Globe and Mail is not naming the chief because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.Mr. Fox was suspended at the end of February in a move by the deputy grand chiefs for allegedly violating the organization’s code of conduct.
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.
