Being held virtually using Zoom, this will be the first meeting out of three, prior to the tribal referendum, to share information and respond to questions from tribal members about a possible tribal-state agreement. Members are being asked if they give permission for the Tribe to begin negotiations with New York State on an agreement to allow tribally licensed businesses to sell cannabis products off Akwesasne Territory. A tribal referendum has been scheduled for Ohiarí:ha/June 4, 2022 that, if approved, will initiate negotiations on a tribal-state agreement for tribally licensed entrepreneurs to distribute and sell cannabis products throughout the State. If tribal members approve, the Tribe will negotiate an agreement that will also be brought back to the membership for approval. The link for tribal members to join the meeting is located on the Tribal Members Portal. The dates and times for additional public meetings will be shared when finalized.
