Pressure Builds to Protect #Manoomin (#WildRice)

"Laws aren’t always enough. We’re seeing a loss of wild rice all over #Minnesota. Threats from #ClimateChange, threats from pollution, threats from landowners that are ripping out wild rice stocks."

Excerpt: "Wild rice, often known by its #Objiwe name, manoomin, has been a means of sustenance for #DakotaLakota and Ojibwe peoples since time immemorial. It is the reason that Ojibwe people migrated to this region, 'the land where food grows on water' – without it, people’s health and wellbeing would suffer from not being able to live their way of life and not getting essential nutrients from the rice. (More on the importance of wild rice in UR’s 2017 report, Resistance to Line 3 Pipeline Seeks to Save Sacred Manoomin.)"

[...]

"Activists fear that legislators will use this time to review policies as an opportunity to take back provisions on the wild rice sulfate standard, a law put in place in 1973 limiting the amount of sulfate that mining companies pollute into wild rice waters."
