About Akwesasne
Akwesasne is a Mohawk territory that straddles the international border between Ontario, Quebec, and New York State, along the St. Lawrence River near Cornwall. Its governance is split between the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne on the Canadian side and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe on the U.S. side. About 11 cannabis dispensaries operate on the Canadian portion of the territory, with additional tribally licensed retailers on the U.S. side.
Doing business here
Akwesasne is the only major Indigenous cannabis market in North America that operates across an international border and two provinces. The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe has run a licensed adult-use cannabis program since 2021 under its own Cannabis Compliance Office, while the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne has its own Cannabis Law process. For payment processing, this means cross border currency considerations, distinct tax treatments, and retailers operating under different regulatory bodies within the same community.
