Earlier this month, a group called the 1855 Treaty Authority demonstrated an exercise in treaty rights by ricing on a Minnesota lake without a permit. The group asserts that their treaty gives them the right to harvest rice without a permit on ancestral land.  Wild rice or manoomin in Ojibwe, is a traditional food with a long history to the Chippewa bands of the area. Join us as we discuss the significance of wild rice, culturally and politically to the tribes of that area.

Guests:  

Frank Bibeau (White Earth Nation) – tribal attorney and spokesperson for the 1855 Treaty Authority group

Michael Connors (Boise Forte Band of Chippewa) – emergency manager for the Boise Fort Band of Chippewa

Also mentioned on the show today:

Tuesday, September 16, 2014 – Nation to Nation

By

“Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States and American Indian Nations” is our September 2014 Book of the Month. This collection, edited by activist and author Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne/HodulgeeMuscogee), covers a new exhibit that marks the 10th anniversary of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). The pages of the book represent a conversation about the impact treaties made the U.S. government have had on our tribal nations. How deeply rooted are treaties in to your tribe’s history? Have your own treaties been honored? Do you feel treaties have the same strength today as they did when they were first made? What can we learn about the U.S. from past agreements?

Guests:

Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne/Hodulgee Muscogee)

NMAI Director Kevin Gover (Pawnee)
