The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, located in Deer River, MN, is a federally recognized tribal government committed to the responsible operation of government, preservation of their heritage, promotion of their sovereignty, and the protection of natural resources for their elders and future generations. With a population of 9,509 enrolled members as of September 2015, the tribe holds the smallest percentage of its reservation land compared to other tribes in the state, with less than 5% owned by the Band. The tribe's official emblem and flag symbolize their respect for traditions, connection to their cultural identity as Ojibwe people, and their ability to prosper under the rule of law and through education. The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe is part of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, which promotes and protects the member Bands while providing quality services and technical assistance to the reservation governments and tribal people. The tribal government is led by the Leech Lake Reservation Business Committee, also known as the Tribal Council.
