Leech Lake Journeys With First Nations

Leech Lake Journeys With First Nations website is a Green route website (a partner of "Explore Minnesota") that helps visitors find one-of-a-kind destinations to eat, play, sleep, shop, move and learn. It is a statewide green tourism initiative in Minnesota, coordinated by Renewing the Countryside.

This website will promote green tourism on the Leech Lake Reservation. Members who are showcased on the Leech Lake Journeys with First Nations:

• Contribute to the local economy by employing local residents, using local products and growers, and supporting local businesses.
• Conserve and enhance our natural resource base (e.g. through use of renewable energy, recycling, green building techniques, wildlife habitat protection, etc.)
• Use sustainably produced or organically grown products.
• Engage customers and visitors through active, personal, and meaningful participation in nature, people, places, history and cultures.

Leech Lake Journeys With First Nations will be launched during the Minnesota State Fair, partnering with the Eco Experience in the "Explore Minnesota" exhibit which showcases environmentally friendly services and products.

We will also have a community event on Saturday, September 19th with food, games, and prizes for the whole family.
