Tribal Leaders Work to Create Jobs
Post Views 1Tribal leaders with the Bois Forte band of Chippewa are working to create jobs and increase opportunities on the Nett Lake reservation.
The tribe’s Fortune Bay $13 million resort expansion is complete, and the band is focusing on a new project: a $10 million dollar community and government services center in Nett Lake.
There will also be a new credit union or bank branch. The tribe plans to offer eligible band members a $1,200 loan to help them survive this year.
There are no plans for layoffs.
The members of the Minnesota Chippewa tribe will open a Native American Embassy – the first of it’s kind – in Minneapolis later this year.
