    • Ron Fontaine became acting chief following Jerry Fontaine's resignation in September 1998, and was subsequently elected to the position.[1] He was in office during the Virginia Fontaine Addictions Foundation Scandal (see below), and blamed the resulting controversy on a "white media agenda" designed to undermine aboriginal self-government.[2] He was defeated in 2001.

On October 18, 2000, Canadian Press organization reported that the Director of the Foundation, Perry Fontaine and 74 other persons attended a cruise to the Caribbean that was termed a "Staff Retreat". The cost of this trip was reported later to be over 135,000 dollars. Health Canada eventually investigated the financial books of the Center and found massive fraud and kickback schemes.

Sagkeeng First Nation now hosts a family treatment centre. Though there is still stigma attached to this community, the program has been successfully running for a few years.
