Socio-economic Initiatives
The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe operates Palace Casino and Hotel in Cass Lake on the Leech Lake Reservation. It also operates Northern Lights Casino, Hotel and Convention Center in Walker; and White Oak Casino in Deer River.
The Business Development Division also operates the Che-We-Ka-E-Gon Complex in Cass Lake, consisting of a gas station/convenience store, a gift shop and an office retail supply. It has the Northern Lights Express, a small gas station near the Northern Lights Casino, Hotel and Convention Center. It has plans to open a restaurant and marina on Shingobee Island between Walker and the Northern Lights complex.
In addition to economic initiatives, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe has founded two major educational initiatives: the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School, an open enrollment K-12 school, and Leech Lake Tribal College, an associate-degree-granting higher education institution.

Famous quotes containing the word initiatives:
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
