The Santee Sioux tribe of South Dakota may have discovered a new money-making model for native tribes across the US,according to The Guardian. The tribe will open the nation’s first marijuana resort on its reservation, hoping to sell its first marijuana cigarette on New Year’s Eve. Marijuana was legalized on the reservation in June.
The Santee Sioux plan to grow their own marijuana on the land, and sell it in a smoking lounge. The resort will also feature a nightclub, arcade games, bar and food service and, eventually, slot machines and an outdoor music venue.
