Derek Fox has been removed as Grand Chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation with a vote by chiefs-in-assembly on Thursday, following allegations he breached NAN's code of conduct.
THUNDER BAY — Derek Fox has been removed as Grand Chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation following a closed-door vote of the organization’s chiefs-in-assembly on Thursday.
Fox had questioned that process, saying in March he hadn't been given a chance to hear the accusations against him or properly respond to them."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," it stated.
Fox, a trained lawyer from Bearskin Lake First Nation, was elected to his first term as grand chief in 2021. He previously served two terms as a deputy grand chief. Fox filed a $200,000 lawsuit in January against Copenace, alleging he had been defamed by remarks Copenace made at the meeting publicly accusing Fox of being a woman abuser.
