A First Nation in the Battlefords area has decided to go with almost a completely different band council.
Former councillor Elliot Kahpeaysewat is the new chief of the Moosomin First Nation following a weekend band election.
He takes over from incumbent Daniel Blackstar.
Six of the eight people voted in as councillors are new to council.
Philip Laplante and Bradley Swiftwolfe are the only holdovers from the previous council.
The newcomers are Gage Bird, Tommy Lightfoot, Bernice Moosomin, Ian Osecap, Randy Osecap, and Iver Swiftwolfe.
