HOGANSBURG — On the flatlands that make up the New York side of the Akwesasne reservation, three similar-looking buildings rise along Frogtown Road. Inside the first, a red warehouse and factory, are stacks upon stacks of boxes emblazoned with the logo Native. At a green structure nearby, hundreds of cartons of Signal brand cigarettes are stockpiled.
Convenience at Your Doorstep: Native Smokes Delivery
These smoke shops aren’t your typical convenience stores, but a growing number of Indian tribes around the country are using them to avoid state-level taxes on their cigarettes and other tobacco products. In the United States, American Indian and Alaska Native adults use commercial tobacco more than any other racial or ethnic group, and they suffer from higher rates of heart disease, the nation’s leading cause of death.
For years, the state’s reluctance to collect the cigarette tax on reservations, known as forbearance, has protected smuggling operations like this from being shut down. But on December 15, Gov. David Paterson signed a law that could bring an end to the tribal cigarette trade.
It requires manufacturers to sell to wholesalers who can certify that the cigarettes won’t be sold on reservations, and that they won’t be resold for tax-free sale. Some tribes have already responded to the threat with lawsuits, including a recent case filed by the city of Rochester against the owners of two Smoke Shops on the Ganondagan Indian Reservation in Monroe County.
