Summary

In 2018, the 1855 Treaty Authority established the rights of Manoomin, a wild rice, citing a need to “provide a legal basis to protect wild rice and freshwater resources as part of their primary treaty foods for future generations. The 1855 Treaty Authority’s resolution declared that Manoomin needed the highest protection possible through the recognition of legal rights, as Manoomin is “threatened by hybridization, genetic modification, sterilization, privatization, climate change, and other industrial corporate practices.”
