Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for quick answers about Manoomin, ricing, MWRI's structure, or how to get involved?

We honor the Anishinaabe nations — Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodéwadmi — whose territories encompass the waters where Manoomin grows. MWRI's work is guided by these nations and conducted in relationship with them.
