RED WING, Minn. – The Prairie Island Indian Community plans to open a new recreational cannabis dispensary this summer near Red Wing.
The new cannabis company will be called Island Peži, which means grass.
Prairie Island is a sovereign nation and does not require a cannabis license from the state of Minnesota. A commission was formed to regulate cannabis business activity.
Officials say the dispensary will create another avenue of economic diversification and develop opportunities for the Tribe’s members.
The Red Lake and White Earth Nations opened cannabis dispensaries last year.
