Onamia, Minnesota – In a groundbreaking move, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is constructing Minnesota’s inaugural cannabis cultivation facility on their sovereign land, just a stone’s throw from Grand Casino Mille Lacs in Onamia. Chief Executive Melanie Benjamin says the tribe is seizing the opportunity to diversify their economic portfolio and create jobs for their members.
Massive Facility to Produce 1,600 Pounds of Cannabis Monthly
The sprawling 50,000-square-foot facility is set to churn out a whopping 1,600 pounds of cannabis each month. Benjamin emphasizes that the venture is all about creating opportunities for the people and fostering economic development within the tribe.
Sovereign Nations Lead the Way in Minnesota’s Cannabis Market
The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is proving that sovereign nations are at the forefront of Minnesota‘s budding cannabis industry. This facility will be the largest cannabis development on tribal land in the state, showcasing the tribe’s commitment to producing high-quality products that both the Band of Ojibwe and the state of Minnesota can take pride in.
Profits to Be Reinvested in Tribal Programs and Services
The revenue generated from the cannabis grow facility will be funneled back into the tribe, supporting essential government programs and services for its members. While the Band of Ojibwe is currently focused on cultivation, they are exploring potential retail options for the future.
With the facility slated for completion by fall, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is poised to make history and pave the way for a thriving cannabis industry in Minnesota.
