Governance

Saugeen is governed by Chief John Machimity and three councillors: Kenneth Rogers, Harley Machimity and Melony Necan. Though not a signatory to Treaty 3, Saugeen is a member of the Grand Council of Treaty 3. At one time Saugeen was member of the Windigo First Nations Council and the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, but withdrew from their memberships in 1995. Ever since, the council has been a politically independent First Nation.
