INFORMATION KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Make Your Tour 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 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 weed 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.

Partnering with Alliance for Youth, Inside Lakes Learning Institute provides 5% of gross revenue to provide skill-building education and activities for youth on Blackfeet Indian Reservation.
