Governance

The leadership of the First Nation is determined through the Act Electoral System. The current Chief is Celia Echum, who is serving along with six councillors: Blaine Martin, Gwen O'Nabigon, Maurice Waboose, Jerry Echum and David Charles Jr, and Joseph Dore Jr. Their two-year elected terms began in August 2009.

The First Nation is a member of Matawa First Nations, a Regional Chiefs Council, which in turn is a member of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, a Tribal Political Organization representing many of the First Nations in northern Ontario.
