The Apsáalooke Nation will take its first steps toward entering the cannabis industry this week.
Crow Chairman Frank White Clay is expected to approve an ordinance that will allow the tribal government to oversee its own cultivation and sale of marijuana, and benefit from the revenue.
âWeâre moving forward. Weâre diversifying our economy throughout the tribe. Coal was the name of the game for the tribe for a while, but for good business we have to diversify within the reservation,â White Clay told The Gazette on Wednesday.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) A Native American tribe in Montana is expected to enter the cannabis industry after approving an ordinance last week to oversee its own cultivation and sale of marijuana, and benefit from the revenue.
Crow Tribe Chairman Frank White Clay is expected to approve the Crow Cannabis Ordinance, which allows the tribal government to sell marijuana and cannabis-infused products with a sale tax of 7%, The Billings Gazette reported Wednesday.
The Crow Nation Legislative Branch approved the ordinance April 16.
“We’re moving forward. We’re diversifying our economy throughout the tribe. Coal was the name of the game for the tribe for a while, but for good business we have to diversify within the reservation,” White Clay told The Gazette.
