[Webinar] Indigenous Leadership in Cannabis & Hemp: An Indigenous Peoples Day Discussion

Oct 13, 2025

October 13 is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and Vicente LLP is grateful to honor this event by hosting a national conversation highlighting Tribal leadership in cannabis and hemp. Together with our valued colleagues from the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association, the Her Many Voices Foundation, and key Native American Law specialists and policy experts, this timely program explores how Indigenous sovereignty, traditions, and innovation are shaping the future of cannabis and hemp law and policy nationwide.

In this session, panelists share legal insights, community perspectives, and strategies for building equitable, sovereign cannabis and hemp programs that reflect Indigenous values.

Topics of discussion include:

  • The legal landscape: Tribal sovereignty, self-regulation, and state-Tribal compacts

  • Successful models and lessons from existing cannabis and hemp programs

  • The role of women and Indigenous traditions of plant medicine in shaping policy

  • Healing from historical harms and envisioning a just future

  • How cannabis and hemp policy developments may impact Tribal economies
