The newly elected Tribal Council for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan
was sworn into office today by Tribal Court Judge Filkins at the General Council meeting
at 9:00 a.m. As Ordinance 19 dictates, Tribal Council began nominations for Executive
seats. Dennis V. Kequom, Sr., was sworn in for his second term as Tribal Chief by Judge
Filkins and then Chief Kequom took over the duties of swearing in his fellow Executive
Council.
Julius Peters won the position of Tribal Sub Chief; Louanna Bruner became the
Treasurer; Lorna Kahgegab Call was elected Executive Secretary; Ron Nelson is now the
Sgt. At Arms and Steven Pego will serve as our new Chaplain. "I wish we had sixteen
seats on Tribal Council that way everyone who won and has served these past two years
could serve." stated Tribal Chief; Dennis V. Kequom, Sr., just prior to the previous
Council stepping down to allow the newly elected Tribal Council take their seats.
