Red Lake Nation College is a public tribal land-grant community college on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Red Lake, Minnesota. It is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and enrolls about 150 students. The college is supported by elders and community members who speak the Anishinaabe language and who understand the history of the Red Lake Nation.
The college opened a downtown Minneapolis site in 2024 to reach students who may live off the reservation.{{cite news|url=https://www.startribune.com/red-lake-nation-college-opens-in-minneapolis-offering-higher-education-and-cultural-connection/600371661/|last=Navratil|first=Liz|date=June 6, 2024|access-date=June 7, 2024|title=Red Lake Nation College opens in Minneapolis, offering higher education and cultural connection|work=Star Tribune|archive-date=June 6, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240606231811/https://www.startribune.com/red-lake-nation-college-opens-in-minneapolis-offering-higher-education-and-cultural-connection/600371661/|url-status=live}}
