Success Stories from Wakaga Partner Projects

Proven Impact Across Tribal Lands and National Markets

Wakaga’s mission to build a resilient, self-sustaining economic foundation for tribal nations is more than a vision—it’s a proven strategy. Through successful partnerships across industries, Wakaga has helped launch and grow businesses that serve tribal communities while expanding into national and global markets.

One standout project is Lakota Greens, a tribally owned agricultural venture using geothermal greenhouses to grow organic microgreens. These high-demand crops support both local nutrition and external sales to restaurants and grocers. The project has created local jobs and inspired interest from other tribal nations in replicating the model.

In the logistics sector, Warpath Logistics—operated through Wakaga—is providing fulfillment and transportation services across the Midwest. This partnership leverages tribal land for warehousing and distribution centers, creating both tax advantages and a reliable supply chain route that bypasses congested urban markets.

Wakaga’s involvement in digital infrastructure has also delivered tangible success. Through Daiwa Systems, Wakaga launched a cybersecurity training hub that now contracts with state and federal agencies. Tribal citizens receive job training, while clients benefit from a secure, sovereign service provider with clearance to handle sensitive data.

Another success story comes from the entertainment sector, where Wakaga structured a talent management partnership offering tribal tax benefits to high-earning content creators. This structure helps artists keep more of their revenue while supporting tribal programs through a percentage-based contribution model.

These projects exemplify the diversity and scalability of Wakaga’s economic model. From agriculture and IT to logistics and creative industries, Wakaga proves that tribal partnerships are not only ethical and sovereign—but also profitable and impactful.

Each success is a testament to the potential of Native-led business strategies. Wakaga’s approach continues to attract partners who see the value in investing with tribes rather than around them.
