Onamia Attractions

The "thousand lakes" were once the heartland of the Dakota Indians and home to the Mille Lacs Indian Museum.

The Mille Lacs Indian Museum presents the history and culture of the Mille Lacs band of Ojibwe Indians. The craft room serves as a demonstration area for traditional cooking, birch-bark basketry and beadwork.

Mille Lacs Kathio State Park north of Onamia features 9,000 years of human history as a result of the Dakota Sioux Indians congregating in the area. The park offers camping, hiking, cross-country skiing and swimming opportunities.
