We invite you to explore more about our government, our history, our culture and communities.Ībout 500 years ago, as Europeans began settling in North America, the ancestors of the Mille Lacs Band began migrating west from the Atlantic coast of North America to the place “where the food grows on water.” By the mid-1700s, the Ojibwe had established themselves in the region around Mille Lacs Lake in what is today East Central Minnesota. Our homelands are a place where the past touches the present and connects our life with the people who came before and left a rich tribal heritage. For miles in every direction, there is hardly a place untouched by some large or small event from our past. This part of Minnesota - where the seasons of the year bring cycles of great beauty to the Lake and the land - has been the setting of our history for more than two centuries. We are a proud self-governing Indian nation of nearly 4800 enrolled Band Members that is committed to safeguarding our culture, language, rights and way of life as well as promoting a future of prosperity for our Band Members and future generations that also benefits surrounding communities. Our Band has a three-branch division-of-powers form of government, with an Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judicial Branch. We also have a thriving urban population in Minneapolis. Croix River and north to Rice Lake and Sandy Lake. Our homelands are comprised of three Districts throughout East Central Minnesota, from our 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation east to the St. We are a sovereign, federally recognized American Indian tribal government whose members have lived for many generations in the east-central Minnesota region. Boozhoo and welcome to the website of the Non-Removable Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
