This is a tough one. Manoomin (native wild rice) is our non-genetically altered, non-paddy grown and pesticide-free, or not mechanically processed rice is arquably the most nutritious and best tasting in the world given the quality of our greatest local asset, Lake Superior and surrounding lakes and streams. Now earth’s last bastion of fresh water is threatened and it raises questions on many levels. There’s a lot of history and cultural testimony to support the protection of Manoomin. It is a cornerstone of current ecological and agricultural battles being waged. Please chime in.
