Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe

The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is a federally recognized American Indian tribal government located in east-central Minnesota, with members who have resided in the region for generations. Comprising nearly 4,800 enrolled members, the Band operates under a three-branch system of government, focusing on preserving their culture, language, and rights while promoting prosperity for current and future generations.

Historically, the Mille Lacs Band's roots trace back over 500 years, establishing a connection to the land and its resources. Despite facing significant challenges, including land loss and efforts to suppress their cultural identity, the Band has emerged as a self-governing nation committed to self-determination and the well-being of its members.
