The Bois Forte Band of Chippewa will open a new 2,000 square foot cannabis dispensary near Fortune Bay Resort Casino and RV park near the town of Tower.
“If the tribe does business the right way this will be a huge game changer for Bois Forte,” interim tribal council chair Shane Drift said in a social media post, as reported by The Timberjay.
The Bois Forte Development Corporation owns the Bois Forte Cannabis Corporation. The dispensary will operate under the name ‘Ishkode,’ the Ojibwe word for fire. The dispensary is the first new business opened by Bois Forte since 2006.
The dispensary will sell cannabis flower, pre-rolls, gummies and other cannabis products.
The dispensary has created more than half a dozen new jobs, according to Bois Forte spokesperson Brian Anderson. Half of those new jobs have been filled by Bois Forte tribal citizens.
The band will also offer cannabis products at a local convenience store in Nett Lake, on land also owned by the band.
