The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Retirement Plan was established to help most of us look forward to our retirement years. For most of us retirement planning consists of using our personal savings and investments such as the Social Security benefits to which both you and your employer contribute; the Band adopted 401(k)/403(b) Plan in the sincere hope that it will help provide you with financial security during your retirement years.
