The Red Lake Band of Ojibwe from Minnesota met with eight First Nations for an historic meeting on Wednesday.

Tribal leaders said they wanted to work together to explore trade and economic opportunities. One idea proposed was importing prescription drugs from a tribally-owned pharmacy in Canada to the Red Lake Reservation.

The First Nations represented were from the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council
