Mno-Bmadsen is the good path to good business

We are the non-gaming investment enterprise of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi

We make sustainable long-term investments

Our decisions will benefit the next seven generations

Our mandate is to diversify the business interests, revenue streams, and wealth for future generations of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi

Mno-Bmadsen is a non-gaming investment enterprise and wholly-owned instrumentality of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi. We invest some of the treasury from the Pokagon gaming enterprise and returns generated by Mno-Bmadsen investments. We are focused on acquiring good investments and good companies and finding ways to add value and to help them grow through our tribal strength, status, and strategic expertise.

As a Pokagon Band of Potawatomi citizen, I am most proud of the growth I have seen. Mno-Bmadsen remains focused on “the good path” that will continue for the next seven generations.
