Northwest Minnesota — the region west of Bemidji and north of the Twin Cities core, including Mahnomen, Becker, Polk, Norman, Clearwater, Pennington, Marshall, Hubbard, Otter Tail, Red Lake, and surrounding counties — is the historic heartland of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe.

The Moorhead dispensary (2902 US-10) is also within driving distance for residents of Clay County and the Fargo-Moorhead metro. All locations are owned by the White Earth Band of Ojibwe under a 2023 state-tribal compact and regulated by the Tribal Regulatory Agency (TRA).
