The newly-elected Moosomin First Nation Chief and Council held an oath of office swearing in ceremony at their new community band hall on March 23.

Chief Bradley Swiftwolfe, serving his second term as chief, was previously on council for two terms.
"I am honoured to be elected chief of Moosomin First Nation for another term. I would like to thank the elders for the pipe ceremony. I look forward to working with this council for the next two years," said Chief Swiftwolfe.
About 50 people showed up to partake in the ceremony which included a pipe ceremony, swearing in of chief and council and victory song by the Wild Horse Drummers.
Moosomin Band elections are regulated under the Indian Act election codes therefore this council will hold office for a two-year term.
