The great attachment of Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN), Bobby Narcisse, is under independent investigation related to his behavior with the political-territorial organization, confirmed CBC News.
Narcisse is one of the three great attached chiefs with NAN, which represents 49 first nations in treaties 9 and 5 in Ontario. He is a member of Aroland First Nation in the northwest of Ontario, and was running against the current Great Chief Alvin Fiddler and Pauline Peneta Mickelson for the position of a great boss in the 2024 elections.
A document published on social networks on Tuesday seems to show that NAN Executive Council ordered a investigation into Narcisse’s behavior on Friday. The details of the document have not yet been verified independently by CBC News.
Narcisse confirmed in a phone call with CBC News that he is the object of third -party investigation.
He said he cannot provide information on the nature of the investigation, since it is in progress. However, he said he is related to Nan’s code of conduct.
CBC News has communicated with the communications team with NAN for more details and will update this story with any answer.
The investigation occurs almost two years after the former Chief of Nan, Derek Fox, was eliminated from the position for alleged violations of the NAN Code of Conduct.
Nan’s code of behavior is not available on its website.
Narcisse studied political and law at the University of Lakehead in Thunder Bay and has several years of experience with NAN as Director of Social Services, according to the Nan website.
He has been one of the protagonists of the organization in the reform of children’s and family services, and has extensive experience working with the youth of the first nations.
