Welcome to Red Roots Trading: A Sovereign Indigenous Business Rooted in Tradition
Red Roots Trading Company is proud to operate as a sovereign, Algonquin-owned and operated business serving Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities across Canada with a commitment to healing, tradition, and empowerment. Founded in 2023 by Anthony (AJ) Tenasco, Red Roots was inspired by the historical use of medicinal plants in Algonquin culture and the desire to provide access to natural wellness through ethically sourced, third-party laboratory tested, high-quality cannabis products.
Although we once operated several physical trading posts across Ottawa—including locations in Vanier, Russell Road, Bank Street, and downtown in the Byward Market—our operations have since evolved. For now, we exclusively serve our customers through delivery and mail-order, allowing us to reach a broader audience while remaining true to our values and roots. Our team continues to operate on unceded Algonquin territory, with every order helping support our community in Kitigan Zibi and beyond. Plus, we're working on a new private members-only club concept for new brick and mortar locations coming soon!
