The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is a federally recognized Indian tribal government located in east-central Minnesota, committed to preserving their culture, language rights, and way of life. With nearly 4,800 enrolled members, the Band operates under a three-branch system of governance and aims to ensure future prosperity for its members while benefiting the surrounding communities. Historically, the Mille Lacs Band has deep roots in the region, having established their presence around Mille Lacs Lake by the mid-1700s. Despite facing challenges including land loss and cultural assimilation, the Band has worked diligently to restore self-governance and promote tribal sovereignty in compliance with treaties and laws established with the United States government.
