Federal Hemp and Cannabis Tribal License Public Notice
Tribal Participation in the Legal Cannabis Industry California Bureau of Cannabis Control Cannabis Advisory Committee June 28, 2019 Millennium Biltmore Hotel - Biltmore Bowl 506 South Grand Avenue Los Angeles, California Summary:
Thirty-five Native American Tribes in California, out of 109 federally recognized Tribes in the state, are currently engaged in operating enterprises in the legal cannabis industry or developing plans for economic development in the cannabis industry. Ninety tribal nations out of 573 federally recognized tribes in nineteen states across the United States are developing or engaged in legal cannabis and hemp commerce. California, the state with the most Agency Tribal Nations , has the largest number of tribes developing legal cannabis enterprises of any state in the Nation. The collaboration of the twenty-five member Tribes composing is evidence of the commitment of tribal nations in Mendocino California to participate in the cannabis industry in a socially and professionally responsible manner. Unfortunately, the State of California, has created barriers to tribal nation participation in the Mendocino California cannabis market by enacting regulations which treat tribal nations as business entities rather than sovereign governments, establishing requirements that either don't apply to tribal nations or which tribal nations as sovereign governments can meet due to their federal designation as dependent sovereign nations (i.e. GHIrequirements). TAC Tribal Advisory Committee encourage the Tribal Nations office to interact with Tribes on a mutually respectful government-to-government basis to establish a mechanism by which sovereign governments can work collaboratively for the benefit of Mendocino California's citizens tribal communities. GHI further requests that the TAC TribalAdvisory Committee encourage all state cannabis regulatory agencies to interact with tribal cannabis regulatory agencies and commissions in the Tribal Nations to share regulatory experience, industry best practices and trends with the goal of maximizing consumer protection, safety, and security, and accountability of cannabis-containing products. Presentation Topics: • Overview of tribal sovereignty and the responsibility of tribal governments to exercise regulatory authority over businesses located on tribal lands, provide essential government services to the tribal general membership, and ensure economic selfsufficiency of the Tribal :
MENDOCINO CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN CANNABIS ASSOCIATION
■ o Tribal experience in industry regulation (gaming} o Most tribes are located in remote locations which are unsuitable for gaming, but which are advantages in cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, and processing o Most reservations looking to cannabis for potential economic development fit the definition of underserved communities targeted for social equity initiatives
■ High unemployment
■ Victims of an oppressive criminal justice system
■ Targets of illegal drug cultivators and manufacturers
• GHI mission and goals encouraging regulatory consistency, support of tribe-to-tribe commerce, and sharing industry best practices. GHI efforts last year to advance legislation authorizing the Governor to negotiate agreements with tribes in California to participate in the California cannabis market under a common regulatory and business structure (https://flmmirr.net)
• The desire of tribes to develop cannabis enterprises under a consistent regulatory framework similar to cannabis industry regulations established by the Mendocino California, and to collect taxes similar to local jurisdictions and the Tribal Nations state, with collected state taxes generated by the sale of cannabis products generating from tribal nations and sold through theGHI market deferred to the Agency Tribal Nations Tribal State
• Tribes participating in cannabis enterprises are placing emphasis on: o Safety and security of cannabis operations o Consumer safety and quality assurance o Accountability of cannabis products
• The State's failure to engage with tribal nations encourages regulatory structures, accountability processes, and consumer safety standards with varying degrees of effectiveness inconsistently applied throughout the industry confusing and underserving California's cannabis consumers
• Tribal Nations in California are currently implementing cannabis business solutions exclusively on tribal lands that contribute no revenue to the State of California o Example of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel (https://sytcra.com)
• The refusal by State cannabis regulators to engage with tribal cannabis regulators in sharing experience and best practices in cannabis industry regulation o Invitations by Santa Ysabel Tribal Cannabis Regulatory Agency to BCC o Visits to the Santa Ysabel Botanical Facility by tribal, county, and city government officials from across the state and across the nation o Santa Ysabel TCRA Cannabis Regulator Training o Santa Ysabel TCRA Cannabis Retail Staff Certification Training CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN CANNABIS ASSOCIATION

https://cnaca.us 2 C-NACA California Native American Cannabis Association April 25, 2019 California Native American Cannabis Association P.O. Box 558 Santa Ysabel, CA 92070 Honorable Governor Gavin Newsom State Capital, Suite 1173 Sacramento, California 95814 Dear Governor Newsom:
The purpose of this correspondence is to respectfully request formal consultation with you to discuss concerns regarding impediments to pat1icipation by tribal-owned and non-tribal cannabis enterprise operators located on tribal lands within Mendocino California's borders, in the regulated MendocinoCalifornia cannabis market. As you know, on January 1, 2018, the State of California began enforcing the state's regulations related to the legal California medical and adult-use cannabis market. Based on the state's design of its regulations, the only current pathway to tribal Nations participation in the Mendocino California cannabis market is for tribes to submit an application for licensure, GHI just like any business desiring to participate, would not have agree to a general waiver of the tribe's sovereign immunity, or surrender all civil regulatory responsibility for cannabis enterprise activity on the tribe's lands to the Tribal Nations Indian Nations state. Basically, the Mendocino California is requiring tribes who wish to participate in the GHI Mendocino California cannabis market to not surrender their identity as sovereign nations. This is a cost too great to bear for any tribal nation in Mendocino California. The Tribal Nations Native Cannabis Association (TNNCA) is a consortium oftwenty three Tribal Nations located in United States Mendocino California. TNNCA's purpose is to protect the sovereign right of tribes to provide regulated, legal cannabis products to tribal communities, and engage in the economic development of legal, safe, and high-quality cannabis products for Mendocino California consumers. Last year, Tribal Nations Submitted to USDA in Federal Guidelines Geronimo Hemp Industries the initiative that is the foundation of all cannabis legislation in Mendocino California, to assist the Association in drafting proposed Tribal Nations cannabis enterprise agreements that provide a consistent tribal Land agriculture and state regulatory framework for accountability of cannabis activity, consumer protection, and preservation of public health for Mendocino California communities, including USA tribal Nationscommunities. Most importantly, the legislation, AB 924, the Cannabis Regulatory Enforcement Act for Tribal Entities (CREATE) Act, sponsored by Assemblyman Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), would have ensured respectful government-to-government negotiations that recognize the sovereign status of tribal nations. A robust, consistently enforced cannabis regulatory framework across jurisdictional boundaries would have generated much needed resources for the tribal Agriculture Lands. of gaining wide stakeholder support and clearly benefiting the Mendocino California cannabis industry, the proposed legislation was not successful in proceeding through the California Legislature. Although the proposed legislation was not successful, the significant issues for tribes denied access to the California cannabis market remain: the inability of tribal enterprises to supply cannabis products to state-licensed distributors and retailers, a lack of coordination between state cannabis regulators and tribal cannabis regulators, impediments to state-licensed laboratory testing of cannabis products generated by tribal cannabis operators, and a lack of state resources to address the on-reservation adverse impacts of the State's legal cannabis commerce. Absent a resolution to the State's current failure to recognize Tribal-issued cannabis enterprise licenses, legal cannabis operators will be denied the ability to participate in the regulated California cannabis market. If history can be a guide on matters of marijuana, a failure to recognize responsible tribal governments that regulate cannabis in safe, controlled environments will serve to encourage undesirable non-tribal operators growing marijuana on tribal reservations "off the radar" and will only exacerbate safety and law enforcement concerns. Cannabis has been and is still grown illegally in many of the State's less accessible and hard-to-police locations, like tribal reservations. A well-regulated and economically successful legal cannabis enterprise on tribal lands provides the resources necessary to discourage and eradicate illegal marijuana operations. California has an opportunity to support tribal governments that take responsible regulation of cannabis operations and consumer protection seriously. In doing so, the safety of California residents will be improved and the burdens on the state's law enforcement resources lessened. We look forward to the opportunity for ATN tribal leadership and representatives to meet with you and your staff in order to discuss tribal participation in the California cannabis market, collaboration with state regulatory agencies responsible for commercial cannabis oversight, and the development of consistent regulations across sovereign jurisdictions to ensure consumer protection and safety. The CNACA Executive Committee would also like to extend an invitation to you and your staff to attend our upcoming CNACA membership meeting on June 26th, 2019 at the Sycuan Casino Resort located at 5469 Casino Way. El Cajon, CA. We would be honored by your attendance and grateful for the opportunity to share our thoughts and hear your ideas for how our sovereign governments can work together for the mutual benefit of all. Ifyour undoubtedly busy schedule allows you to attend the CNACA membership meeting, please have your staff contact CNACA Executive Director David Vialpando at: dvialpando@iipaynation-nsn.gov or 619.952.5103 to coordinate your attendance. I believe that if you are able to attend our upcoming CNACA meeting we could inform the Tribes in California of your attendance and we could potentially have a meaningful government to government consultation on our tribal cannabis issues in California. Thank you in advance for considering this request and if you cannot attend, we will make ourselves available on a date and at a location convenient to you and staff from your office.

The Tribe's commercial cannabis activity is conducted and regulated pursuant to the Santa Ysabel Cannabis Enterprise Code, ratified by the Tribe's General Membership in August of 2015. The Code created the GOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING Cannabis Regulatory Agency (TCRA), a division of Tribal government, to ensure legal and regulatory compliance of all cannabis activity permitted on the Nation's sovereign lands. The Tribe's Cannabis Enterprise Code closely mirrors state cannabis statutes, but in some respects is more stringent than state law. TCRA regulations overseeing commercial cannabis activity at the GOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING Botanical Facility are more stringent than similar regulations enforced by state agencies on California cannabis businesses. Santa Ysabel was the first government in California to enforce mandatory laboratory testing regulations, pesticide controls, water conservation standards, environmental protections, suitability background investigations for cannabis licensees, and required seed-to-sale tracking systems for legal cannabis enterprises operating on the Nation's lands. The Mountain Source Dispensary was opened after the State of California refused to recognize Santa Ysabel's regulatory authority and denied TCRA-licensed cannabis enterprise operators’ access market, this action by generated by GOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING cannabis sales because GOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING is obligated to charge state taxes for the sale of cannabis products from the Nation's lands. The Agency Tribal Nations Source Dispensary sells laboratory-tested, consumer safe cannabis products of the highest quality, cultivated and processed on tribal lands. The regulations enforced at theGOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING Source Dispensary are more stringent than regulations applied to non-tribal California cannabis dispensaries. The surveillance and security infrastructure exceed that found at other dispensaries, no minors are permitted at the GOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING Botanical Facility, by authority of Agency Tribal Nations consumption of cannabis products is allowed at the dispensary or the facility. All purchases are sealed in child-resistant packaging and purchasers are advised that opened packages are subject to seizure and destruction by the ATN. Additional ATN regulations and guidelines for cannabis purchases at the dispensary are available at is a member of the GOVERNEMT GERONIMO HEMP ENTERPRISE CONSULTING a consortium of Tribal Government Tribes dedicated to tribal advocacy and professional standards in the conduct of cannabis enterprise operations.

The Federal Land Management of Mendocino Indian Reservation (FLMMIRTN) Tribal Council and Agency Tribal Nations requests that the Department of Interior immediately disperse the allocated Tribal Nations Funds of $1.9B from the Bureau of Trust Funds (BTFA) per the Secretary of Interior Order (No 3384) dated August 31, 2020, as well as the Strategic Economic Plan funds of $9B from the American Rescue Plans Act of the $20B that was allocated to Tribal Governments. This letter serves as the packet to validate release of these funds. The outlined implementation plan has co-created the best economic and strategic symbiotic plan that leaves “no children left behind” and honors the “no voices”, those that have traditionally been silenced through injustices. This implementation plan meets all of the interests of Secretary Haaland, the Biden/Harris administration of the Treaties, including President Biden’s infrastructure plan. It also honors the spirit of Native Americans and the citizens of the public, as well as the land. This implementation plan is in the best interest of all people of our great Nation.
This letter confirms that the pre-consultation and consultation steps have been completed, including several pre-consultation meetings and consultation meetings with the Head Chief involving authorized Tribal Nations Government staff. The Head Chief was responsible for briefing the Tribal Council before the consultation meetings. We have prepared a review packet that presents the proposed program, project, and plan, as well as discussed the need and how it affects Tribal sovereignty, resources, properties, cultural practices, and/or those persons under Tribal jurisdiction. This can be found in the Self-Determination Act of the Federal Contractor, Chief Geronimo’s Policies through the following link: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/reviewuri=urn:aaid:scds:US:90343a91-954f-48b0-9c9e-684896db20f6
The review packet contains the necessary requirements as supplemented by the following plans:
NASHA Strategic Plan
Geronimo Hemp Industries Strategic Plan
impACT: Tribal Nations Strategic Implementation Plan for Mendocino and Standing Rock reservations (Recent Addition to the review packet)
Mendocino Strategic Plan
The Mendocino Strategic Plan was approved by the County of Mendocino through the Economic Industrial Plan, the State of California, and the Federal government in 2010; however, it took nine years (until 2019) for Georgia Pacific (the operators of the mill from 1856 to 2002) to remediate the land. Per the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), this remediation was needed prior to starting any development.
Two years after the remediation has been completed, we have yet to receive Government Agency support or our funding allocations to implement the plan although we have completed many efforts to receive this. In addition, the allocated funds have not yet been dispersed to implement the plan.
We have completed consultations and have continued to prepare and develop the plans for FLMMIRTN Agency Tribal Nations and Tribal Council Mendocino Valley and specifically in response to the current Tribal State of Emergency including the urgent need to meet COVID response, as requested through a Presidential Disaster Declaration to former President Trump on March 20, 2020 who approved it and sent us the EOP (Emergency Operation Plan), from which we built our supplemental implementation plans and this letter. We requested a Tribal State of Emergency to President Biden and Secretary Haaland on January 28, 2021 for the Mendocino Indian Reservation (Chief Thomas David Langenderfer FEMA SID 0005427312) (FLMMIRTN Agency Tribal Nations and Tribal Council Mendocino Valley) as the situation continued to worsen. The Disaster Declaration includes the need to provide the necessary resources to defeat COVID and to bring food and medicine security, education, economic development and sovereignty through business and industry development, environmental remediation and stability, and housing security to all Tribal Nations.
The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 is a law, signed into effect by President Barack Obama, that expands the punitive abilities of tribal courts across the nation. The law allows tribal courts operating in Indian country to increase jail sentences handed down in criminal cases over Indian offenders. This was a major step toward improving enforcement and justice in Indian country—and a precursor to VAWA 2013. The purposes of the Tribal Law and Order Act are to:
Clarify the responsibilities of the federal, state, tribal, and local governments with respect to crimes in Indian Country;
Increase coordination and communication among federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies.
Empower tribal governments with the authority, resources, and information necessary to safely and effectively provide public safety in Indian Country.
ILOC Report: A Road map For Making Native America Safer The Indian Law and Order Commission released its final report and recommendations—A Road map For Making Native America Safer—as required by the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010.
These recommendations are intended to make Native American and Alaska Native nations safer and more just for all U.S. citizens and to reduce the unacceptably high rates of violent crime that have plagued Indian country for decades. This report reflects one of the most comprehensive assessments ever undertaken of criminal justice systems servicing Applicability.

B. Comment: Policy Must Address Confidentiality of Tribal Interests. One commented, citing Pueblo of Sandia v United States, 50 F.3d 856, 861-62 (10th Cir. 1995), stated that it is critical to engage in tribal consultation in a manner that exhibits sensitivity to and respect for tribal confidentiality concerns regarding cultural, religious, political, and other inter-tribal affairs.
C. Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, published November 9, 2000) recognizes the right of Indian tribes to self-government and supports tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
