Although we may not readily think of rice when thinking about Great Lakes ecosystems, manoomin, the Ojibwe name for wild rice, is an important aspect of Great Lakes tribal culture, history, and local conservation efforts. Join Roger LaBine of the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in discussing the cultural importance of Manoomin, difficulties in local conservation efforts, and growing concerns, such as corporations seeking to patent manoomin’s unique genetic make-up.
