Cat Lake is policed by the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service, an Aboriginal-based service. Cat Lake First Nation is currently in a state of emergency due to the presence of dangerous levels of black mould in the homes which were a direct implication of the Government of Canada’s further perpetuation of the colonial housing policies that enable a reserve system that leaves countless Indigenous peoples across Canada in dangerous housing situations. On March 14, 2019, an agreement worth $12.8 Million was agreed to with the Federal government to address the crisis.[4] HistoryThe First Nation calls itself Bizhiw-zaaga'iganiwininiwag meaning "Men of Wild-cat Lake" or as Bizhiw-zaaga'iganiing Nitam Anishinaabeg meaning "The First Nation at Wild-cat Lake," where wild-cat refers to the Canada lynx. Community of Cat Lake was originally established as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post in 1788, and later belonged to the Osnaburgh Band of Ojibwe. The Cat Lake reserve is within the boundaries of the territory described by the James Bay Treaty of 1905 — Treaty 9. The reserve was formally established on June 22, 1970. Originally 218 ha and increased to 1771 ha in 2003 under the Government of Canada's Addition to Reserve Policy,[5] the First Nation has reserved itself the Cat Lake 63C Indian Reserve. The community of Cat Lake, Ontario is located within this reserve. There are approximately 1,100 people living here. The community maintains strong ties with Mishkeegogamang First Nation.

In turn, the Windigo First Nations Council is a member of the larger Nishnawbe Aski Nation, a Tribal Political Organisation which represents many of the First Nations in northwestern Ontario. Governance HistoryThe original governance system of the community was that based on the doodem-system, where the hereditary council was established by the families of the appropriate clans, overseen by a hereditary chief. However, the original governance structure for the Cat Lake peoples were altered with the 1905 Treaty 9, and then the Indian Act brought in other leaders from other areas as chiefs for the Cat Lake First Nation.
