 The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in northern Minnesota is celebrating the restoration of nearly 12,000 acres of land to its tribal boundaries. In 2020, a federal law was passed allowing the tribe to collaborate with the U.S. Forest Service to select parcels of land while respecting existing property rights. Additionally, there is a bill introduced in Congress that could potentially restore another 4,000 acres of land to the tribe. This is MNN.
