Water is life and freely nurtures life who then nurture our lives. Healing our relationship with water non-human nations is essential to the well-being of lakes and of our own. This requires communities at the heart of Turtle Island to also heal our relationship with one another. Join us for a short presentation and a guided walk to learn about healing relationships and the Michigan Wild Rice Initiative. Vincent Salgado, a co-author of Michigan’s state Manoomin plan, will share more about the significance of restoring Manoomin throughout Michigan.

The program begins at 5:30 pm in the auditorium at Matthaei Botanical Gardens and includes a brief outdoor walk, so please dress accordingly.
