Tuesday, June 21st is Indigenous Day here in Canada, and we’re taking a moment to recognize the Indigenous brands making waves in recreational cannabis.
You may already be familiar with some fantastic Indigenous-owned producers already, including Costa Canna, Msiku, and others, but did you know that purchasing these producers and Indigenous-owned retailers is also a tangible act towards economic reconciliation? You can read more about how each producer below is creating financial empowerment for Indigenous persons and communities.

The name ‘Msiku’ is the Mi’kmaw word for grass. Humour is very important in Mi’kmaq culture. We are sure that you will see and appreciate how this tongue-in-cheek name reflects that humour! – Msiku website |
Msiku (MM-SEE-GOO) is a cannabis brand produced by AtlantiCann Medical, a Health Canada licensed producer that is majority-owned by the Mi’kmaq First Nations of Nova Scotia. The brand celebrates the heritage of the Mi’kmaq people and pride in the East Coast. Msiku cannabis is grown indoors with care and hand trimmed to produce terpene-rich, craft-quality products. Keep your eyes peeled for their zesty, citrus-forward Frozen Lemons pre-rolls.

Costa Canna is owned by Cowichan Tribes, the largest single First Nation band in British Columbia. They started out as a single retail location in Vancouver Island in 2019 and now have four booming retail cannabis stores.
Costa Canna has recently branched out into cultivation as well. Cowichan Tribes entered into a one-year agreement with the province of British Columbia in 2021, allowing it to both grow and sell cannabis. As a producer, they now have a high-THC offering, Liberty Haze, available in 7g quantities. Cowichan Tribes hope that these opportunities in cannabis could help change the whole economic framework of their nation. Costa Canna is working to build stronger and healthier communities through economic development in the cannabis space.
