The Ojibwe's long and complex connectivity to manoomin (wild rice) is currently being tested by an array of biological, political and economic threats. Preserving this unique relationship for future generations may hinge on our desire and commitment to preserve the abundance of manoomin on the regional landscape today. This lecture will provide an introduction on the Ojibwe's historic and contemporary relationship with wild rice, review some of the threats and challenges facing contemporary wild rice stewardship, and look at some of the past restoration successes which can inform our way forward.
