Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation welcomed approximately 20 tribal leaders on Monday, April 8 for lunch and conversation to discuss the programs available to tribal governments within the agency's service area.

Representatives from Bois Forte, Fond du Lac, Leech Lake, and Grand Portage met with Commissioner Ida Rukavina and the agency's Business and Community Development teams to review the various loan and grant programs.

Attendees also had the opportunity to admire a new indigenous-themed museum mural created by acclaimed indigenous artist Moira Villiard of Duluth, Minnesota, and emerging local artist Alexis Martinez of Virginia, Minnesota. This stunning mural is now showcased at the Minnesota Discovery Center for the public to enjoy.
