At the eastern end of Long Island sits the Shinnecock
Nation peninsula, jutting out into its namesake bay.
Long Island inhabitants for approximately 13,000
years, the Shinnecock name itself roughly translates
from their Algonquian language into English as
"people of the stony shore." e Shinnecock Nation
has continuously given to the Hamptons community,
from preserving the shores aer which they're
named to serving as whalers and fishermen to
protecting waterways. Now, at the Nation's northern
peak sits Little Beach Harvest, a cannabis dispensary
that is founded on both the indigenous nation's
lands and their beliefs. Besides serving as a place for
quality cannabis products, Little Beach Harvest's
community is at the forefront of what they do.
"Here at our dispensary, we want to focus on a lot of
the community being able to participate in what we
have going on here and how cannabis shapes our
community within different aspects of people's
hobbies, people's livelihoods, and just their daily
means of consumption," said Jay Wright, the Product
Marketing Manager for Little Beach Harvest.
