A coffee shop and cafe on the White Earth Ojibwe Reservation in Minnesota has attracted customers from as far away as Hawaii and Nigeria.

The Native Harvest Cafe opened in 2004. It is an extension of Native Harvest, the website and marketing arm of Winona LaDuke's White Earth Land Recovery Project,

The company sells Native foods and arts and crafts but LaDuke's penchant for coffee led to the opening of the cafe. She has been brewing most of the coffee in her home although she will be moving the roasters to the cafe soon.
