Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler, on behalf of the Executive Council, expresses heartfelt condolences following the passing of NAN Elder Freddie Kakekagumick, 85, of Keewaywin First Nation:
“On behalf of Nishnawbe Aski Nation I send our love and prayers to Freddie’s family, his son Chief George Kakekagumick, and the entire Keewaywin community.
Freddie was a long-serving member of the NAN Elder’s Council and served as Elder advisor to Keewaytinook Okimakanak for many years. His presence at our Assemblies has been greatly missed over the past few years due to his ailing health.
He was an accomplished musician and gospel singer and contributed in many positive ways to support communities and their citizens. His life was a blessing, and we are grateful for all the time we were able to spend with him. ....
