Education & Advocacy: ICANNC connects the outside world, including business and political leaders, with Indigenous community members to dig deeper from pre-history to the contemporary landscape of Indigenous hemp and cannabis cultures that live on today. The protection of tribal sovereignty in cannabis legalization is critical.
Elevating Cultures and Economies:
Public Understanding-
ICANNC’s THC Magazine (Tribal Hemp & Cannabis) provides for a place of story... to elevate the perspectives of Indigenous communities in hemp and cannabis to promote our collective understanding of how we can work to protect Tribal Sovereignty in federal legalization.
Tribal Communities have been marginalized in the mainstream conversations about cannabis legalization. This failure to recognize that many Indigenous communities had pre-existing relationships and economies with hemp & cannabis has set us behind in terms of a collective advocacy and effort to protect Mother Earth, our water, and our lands in the development of the new cannabis economies. The so-called "green rush" and "wild west in cannabis" is a continuation of a colonial verbatim that stigmatizes and devalues our role as contemporary, thriving communities playing major roles in the development of complex cannabis regulations, production, medical research, and business development.
