AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Vennum looks at the role wild rice played and continues to play in the life of the Ojibway people. He discusses how it grows (and how paddy wild rice is grown), it's place in myth and ceremony, and its importance in the diet. He also examines how the Ojibway traditionally harvested wild rice verses the way it is harvested today The role of wild rice in the Ojibway economy, past and present, is discussed. Vennum also looks at the effects treaties and federal, state, and provincial laws have had on the Ojibway people's access to wild rice.
