April 9, 2025
THUNDER BAY — A senior leader within Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) is the focus of a third-party investigation, stirring questions within the Indigenous governance body that represents 49 First Nations across northern Ontario.
Deputy Grand Chief Bobby Narcisse, who was re-elected in 2024 after first taking office in 2021, confirmed the existence of an investigation but declined further comment due to the sensitive nature of the process.
A confidential letter from Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler addressed to NAN Chiefs was obtained and made public by Globe and Mail journalist Willow Fiddler. The letter states that Narcisse has been restricted from entering NAN offices or participating in official travel, citing workplace health and safety concerns. However, he remains employed and is allowed to work remotely with full compensation.
