Item First We Must Consider Manoomin/Psiŋ: Impacts of Climate and Land Cover Change on Wild Rice(2023) Nyblade, MadelineIn the upper Laurentian Great Lakes region, Indigenous communities have experienced declines of wild rice (Ojibwemowin: Manoomin; Dakodiapi: Psiŋ; Latin: Zizania palustris), a sacred aquatic plant and food central to their culture. Through tribal-university collaboration, we analyzed Manoomin/Psiŋ density and harvest data along with case studies to show Manoomin/Psiŋ available for tribal harvest has declined regionally by 6±4% to 7±2% per year, complicated by local multi-year cycles and relationships. Our analysis of this data in relation to key environmental conditions reveals both climate and land cover change as drivers of this decline. Increasing precipitation during early summer, as well as decreasing winter temperatures, snowfall, and lake ice, with the changing climate all negatively impact Manoomin/Psiŋ density. Land cover change with U.S. colonization causes harm as well: the resulting increased croplands, pastures, and urban areas, as well as the shifting forest types, all negatively impact Manoomin/Psiŋ. This decline has infringed on Indigenous lifeways by reducing off-reservation harvest by Indigenous people, a right guaranteed by treaties with the US government. Since time immemorial, Indigenous nations have been taking care of Manoomin/Psiŋ, charting a course of Manoomin/Psiŋ stewardship that can be followed to protect this important being in the face of threats from climate and land cover change.Item Influence of Water Chemistry and Microbiome on Macrophyte Composition in Wild Rice Wetlands in NE Minnesota(2022-12) Untiedt, TylerAbstract Wild rice (Zizania palustris) has significant cultural and ecological value in Minnesota and is the state grain. Over recent decades, a decline in wild rice abundance and distribution in the region has occurred due to environmental contamination, opportunistic species infestation, and habitat destruction. Considerable resources and effort have been invested in managing and restoring wild rice wetlands to improve wildlife habitat and opportunities for wild rice harvest. Monitoring these restoration efforts is essential to refine and optimize restoration practices. We hypothesize that changes in surface and porewater chemistry, as well as the water column microbial community in wild rice beds, affect the establishment of self-sustaining wild rice populations. Microbe-plant interactions are critical to nutrient uptake and greatly impact the fitness of aquatic macrophytes. Little investigation has been done on the environmental microbiome of wetlands in the NE Minnesota region. This study aims to characterize the bacterial community associated with the water column naturally occurring wild rice beds along with water quality and macrophyte taxa diversity. Study sites include wetlands with the presence of; self-sustaining wild rice, historical wild rice restoration activity (with and without success), and current restoration. Using a high throughput amplicon sequencing approach, we provide a holistic view of microorganisms associated water columns of wild rice wetlands, as well as wetlands dominated by competing vegetation. These results improve our understanding of microbial ecology in wild rice wetlands in Minnesota, which may be helpful in developing management strategies that promote restoration success.Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1985(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1986-01-20)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1986(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1987)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1987(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1988)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1988(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1989)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1989(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1990)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1990(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1991)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1994(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1995)Item Minnesota Wild Rice Research 1995(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1996)Item Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2009 People Protecting Manoomin: Manoomin Protecting People Agenda(2009) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2009 People Protecting Manoomin: Manoomin Protecting People AgendaItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2009 People Protecting Manoomin: Manoomin Protecting People Brochure(2009) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2009 People Protecting Manoomin: Manoomin Protecting People BrochureItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2009 People Protecting Manoomin: Manoomin Protecting People Scientific Panel - Norman Ellstrand(2009) Norman Ellstrand, University of MinnesotaNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2009 People Protecting Manoomin: Manoomin Protecting People Scientific Panel - Norman EllstrandItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews(2011) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews Event ProgramItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews Agenda(2011) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews AgendaItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews October 19 committee meeting notes(2011) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews October 19 committee meeting notesItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews October 19 committee meeting notes(2011) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews October 19 committee meeting notesItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews October 6 committee meeting notes(2011) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews October 6 committee meeting notesItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews Post Symposium Survey Results(2011) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2011 Bridging Worldviews Post Symposium Survey ResultsItem Nibi & Manoomin Symposium 2013 Building Lasting Relationships Agenda(2013) University of Minnesota CFANSNibi & Manoomin Symposium 2013 Building Lasting Relationships Agenda
