The Isanti Dakota Oyate or Flandreau Santee Sioux Nation has taken steps to resume their cannabis initiative and has purchased a parcel in the heart of the commercial district in Sioux Falls.
Recall that in 2015 President Tony Reider and officials of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Nation advanced an adults-only cannabis initiative after an Iowa casino on the border cut into the tribe's gaming business but destroyed their crop after threats from South Dakota's former attorney general.
Tribal Attorney General Seth Pearman is declining to divulge the Nation's intention for the property.
A 1986 amendment to federal law allows tribes to acquire off-reservation land to serve the needs of its people so the Oglala Lakota Oyate bought property on I-90 just outside Badlands National Park. In March of last year that Nation voted overwhelmingly to legalize cannabis.
Despite Montana Republicans messing with the wills of voters the Apsáalooke Nation will wean itself from coal and move forward on building a cannabis industry.
Minnesota's House of Representatives has voted to legalize cannabis for all adults and that bill will likely die at the hands of the Republican Senate. Nebraska's unicameral has killed even a basic therapeutic application.
South Dakota's Republican governor believes white people in the state are too stupid to grow or regulate the herb, industrial or otherwise. Nevertheless several South Dakota communities are pondering zoning ordinances in anticipation of decisions by the state's Supreme Court and by a governor who would simply jury rig a mechanism that allows pharmacies to dispense edibles and topicals but no flower or smoking.
