- Title
Manoomin is not Wild Rice: An Anishinaabeg Treaty.
- Authors
CARLSON, JOHN
- Abstract
In this article I consider the Anishinaabeg tradition of harvesting manoomin as it is conceived within the language used by Anishinaabeg political actors. I attempt to show that manoomin is not identical to wild rice and that these distinct concepts and their concomitant epistemic and ontological projects are obscured in the act of using these terms interchangeably. I emphasize that these words signify different projects and I introduce a third, which I call Anishinaabe-manoomin following many local designations, as a means of contributing to a decolonial articulation of these projects by highlighting the humanist dimension of the term Anishinaabe.
