Johnson Bridgwater, Water Advocates Organizer at the River Alliance of Wisconsin, shares his recent experience at an intergenerational intertribal rice camp, where he learned from tribal leaders the traditional harvest philosophy and process. Wild rice, or Manoomin, is spiritually, ecologically, and economically important, but facing threats from climate change and settler colonialism, such as sulfate contamination. Addressing these dangers requires partnerships with tribal and non-tribal partners. Interested folks can learn more and keep up to date on this issue by signing up for Manoominews.
