Description:
The Manoomin Project is restoring wild rice to northern Michigan thru the hands of troubled teenagers with help from American Indian guides. Over 100 teens have planted more than one ton of wild rice seeds during the past four summers thanks to guides from several Native American communities and other volunteers including from Marquette County Juvenile Court. The wild rice project was founded by the Cedar Tree Institute in Marquette Michigan and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community to help the teenagers learn respect for themselves nature and American Indian heritage. The teens are taught social issues like racism against Native American. Manoomin Project volunteer media advisor Greg Peterson has the story.
