Anishinaabe Food Sovereignty

Three documentary shorts about Anishinaabe foodways—gardening, harvesting, and fishing—offer multiple perspectives on food sovereignty. 

In Gitigaan: Spotted Earth, the Gitigaan Project bridges old and new ways of gardening throughout Anishinaabe history. 

Sacred Waters features the Sault Tribe, who have been stewards of the fisheries of their Great Lakes territory for generations; the film follows their efforts to restore the declining whitefish population. 

In Finding Manoomin, Minnesota Public Radio Senior Editor Leah Lemm reconnects with her heritage as she harvests wild rice (manoomin) for the first time.

Features exhibition artists Pat Kruse and Terri Hom.
