Join the Wild Ones Red Cedar Chapter Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026 at 7 pm for an interesting program about wild rice, a sacred plant known as “Manoomin in the Ojibwe language. Dr. Nichole Keway Biber, Mid-Michigan Campaign Organizer for Clean Water Action, and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians will be our guest speaker.

She will teach us about the significance of Manoomin which flourished in wetlands of the upper Midwest prior to the arrival of European settlers. Indigenous peoples operating in reciprocal relationship with Manoomin are currently leading efforts to re-establish stands throughout Michigan.

This event is free and open to the public. Join us at the Michigan Nature Association Building, 2310 Science Pkwy, Okemos, MI 48864.
