WE ARE ILLI
Make Your Training Count!
We at ILLI believe as we were taught by our traditional Native American elders that generosity to a healthy community. Just as the lakes flow through the rocks from the peaks of our traditional homeland carving a path for life-giving water to flow through the three oceans of our North American continent, gratitude must be expressed for the land by reciprocal action.
Philanthropic Efforts
Noxious Weeds and Invasive Species
Knapweed and other noxious weeds prevention and eradication on the eastern edge of Glacier National Park is an issue that all of us should be concerned with. These unwanted blights threaten native plants and animals by competing for nutrients. Brought to Glacier National Park and surrounding area by highway travel, rafts, cattle, and railroad. ILLI staff are leaders in raising consciousness and performing actions to prevent and eradicate the noxious weed. We contribute 5% of gross sales to efforts.
Youth Executive Skills Development
Partnering with the Alliance for Youth, Inside Lakes Learning Institute provides 5% of gross revenue to provide skill-building education and activities for youth on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. ILLI believes in developing future leaders in the areas of executive skills such as substance abuse prevention, self-control, empathy, academics, and community service.
