Those products were widely available and contribute to a nearly $30 billion industry. Among them is the Lac du Flambeau tribe that produces and sells hemp-derived products.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nThe end of the government shutdown also means the clock is ticking for Native Americans receiving health insurance subsidized by the Affordable Care Act. Without action by Congress, insurance premiums for those people will jump significantly after the start of the New Year.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nTune into Native America Calling to hear about what the possible options are foa the millions of people facing a major hike in insurance costs.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\">Guests on Native America Calling<\/div>\r\nAngie Wilson (Pit River Tribe), tribal health director for Reno-Sparks Indian Colony\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nRob Pero (Bad River Tribe), founder and president of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association and the owner of Canndigenous\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nCandace Thompson (Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Indians), director of cannabis operations for the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Indians, headquartered in Wisconsin\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nDionne Holmquist (Aztec ancestry), director of biobased solutions at Makoce Agriculture Development\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/show\/4RE6juPYr7cl2Zsmb2zjq7?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"232\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe>\r\n<figcaption class=\"figure-caption\">All Episodes on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/4RE6juPYr7cl2Zsmb2zjq7?si=2a56e59533534bf9\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nativeamericacalling.com\/subscribe-to-podcast\/\">More Options<\/a>\r\n<\/figcaption>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A surprise provision in the bill to end the federal government shutdown has thrown Native hemp producers into chaos.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":338,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,19,1,14],"tags":[385,2716,214,6925,170,6926,509,3769,243,133,134,3941,224,408],"class_list":["post-303707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-health","category-national","category-politics","tag-aca","tag-angie-wilson","tag-appropriations","tag-candace-thompson","tag-congress","tag-dionne-holmquist","tag-hemp","tag-lac-du-flambeau","tag-media","tag-native-america-calling","tag-radio","tag-rob-pero","tag-shutdown","tag-wisconsin","no-wpautop"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nativeamericacalling.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pcoJ7g-1h0v","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303707"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":304176,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303707\/revisions\/304176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
