Community Coordinators

The Red Lake Nation has four Community Coordinators who are in charge of planning and coordinating events for the Ponemah, Redby, Red Lake and Little Rock districts. The coordinators also maintain the community centers which are intended to provide tribal members a place to hold their events/functions such as Memorial dinners, birthday parties, wakes/funerals and other family functions.

*Please note that wakes/funerals always take priority over all other scheduled functions.

Watch the calendar for upcoming community wide events held at each district center, you may choose any center you’d like when a function is taking place, bring your families and enjoy!

Usage Policy:
Wakes and funerals have priority over other events, even if other events such as birthday parties and memorials were booked in advance. Using the community center is free, but the responsible party is expected to haul their own garbage and make sure not to leave anything such as dirty dishes, extra\leftover food and garbage behind. Concerning wakes and funerals, when calling please notify the individual doing the booking whether the service is Traditional or Other, and let said individual know if services such as firewood are needed, which we do free of cost for wake services.
