On this episode of BofC Live, we connect with Ned Horsted, the Executive Director of the Cannabis Industry Association of South Dakota (CIASD). In 2020, South Dakota voters passed both medical and adult use recreational cannabis initiatives on their ballot. As with many states, the path from election approval to implementation has been rocky, with advocates and industry voices looking to implement best practices and policies across the state. We wanted to connect with Horsted to understand the latest developments from Pierre and around the states.

BofC Live is the daily news and interview program of Business of Cannabis. Business of Cannabis highlights the companies, brands, people and trends driving the sector.

The following audio exclusive  features the entire uncut interview with NDN Collective’s Director of Racial Equity, Sunny Red Bear of the Lakota Nation.  Excerpts of this interview were included in our recent special  “LANDBACK! A Tipi Town Approach to Healing & Homelessness”.   In this special feature, Laura traveled to the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota where NDN Collective is reclaiming ancestral lands to address homelessness, addiction and violence against Native Americans.  Laura reported on  Camp Mniluzahan, a tipi village built on tribal trust land, that welcomed hundreds of unhoused Indigenous people and others in the Rapid City area in the dead of winter last year.   Catalyzed in 2020, by an action in which Land Defenders blocked former President Donald Trump’s road to Mount Rushmore, this Landback campaign is about reclaiming, along with stolen land, native ceremonies, spirituality and traditions of community care.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, Laura reports from “He Sapa‘’, the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota where NDN Collective is reclaiming ancestral lands to address homelessness, addiction and violence against Native Americans. Catalyzed in 2020, by an action in which Land Defenders blocked former President Donald Trump’s road to Mount Rushmore, this Landback campaign is about reclaiming, along with stolen land, native ceremonies, spirituality and traditions of community care. In this special feature, Laura reports on Camp Mniluzahan, a tipi village built on tribal trust land, that welcomed hundreds of unhoused Indigenous people and others in the Rapid City area in the dead of winter last year.  Laura’s guests, Oglala Lakota activists Nick Tilsen, Krystal Two Bulls, Sunny Red Bear and Hermus Bettelyoun of NDN Collective.  Music in the Middle:  “Stadium Pow Wow” by A Tribe Called Red featuring Black Bear from their album We Are the Halluci-Nation, released on Radicalized Records.

[Camp Mniluzahan] is... a teaching moment [about] what could happen. We're envisioning what could be if we actually had control of our lands and what it would mean to have land back.

In this episode, Wes and Todd are in Rapid City, South Dakota, to talk with artist and sculptor, Peggy Detmers. Detmers talks about how she got her start in sculpture, her precognitive dream that foretold the large commission, “Lakota Bison Jump”, she did for actor Kevin Costner’s Dunbar Resort, a resort that never came to fruition. 

Detmers relates how she walked away from a lucrative art career to take on the commission and how in the end the broken promises and contract deemed non-binding by the South Dakota Supreme Court has left her scrambling to recoup the monies owed and salvage her distinguished career in art.

During the conversation we discuss the process of casting bronze, donating art to charities and business.

Join us for a cautionary tale from Peggy Detmers about taking on large commissions, contracts and what artists can do to protect themselves.
