The language, culture, traditions, and beliefs are proudly and indelibly woven into the fabric of the region. We’ve influenced and contributed to all aspects of life, art, cuisine, nature, fashion, music, education, spirituality — and now, the economy.
We continue to build upon the legacy of our ancestors, and build a brighter future for our communities today, and tomorrow.
We thread our mission to improve the lives of our community through everything we do — from launching and growing our businesses, investing in our communities, creating affordable housing, and more.
Learn how we’re building a more resilient community through new business, and affordable housing developments.

The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe has worked together towards greater self-sufficiency — the kind only achieved through economic strength. That is our opportunity. That is our responsibility. We’re shaping our future, and we’re building what’s next for the Mille Lacs Tribal community.
