Students speak for the Manoomin
Menominee Tribal School students made an impact on Conservation Lobby Day

Posoh John,

One of the best ways we can build power and make our voices heard is by being in the room and sharing our stories with our legislators. During our Conservation Lobby Day on April 25, I worked with a group of students from the Menominee Tribal School, who did just that. 

Their top priority was advocating for clean water and wild rice restoration. Specifically they asked their legislators to support Gov. Evers’ plan for the DNR to help Manoomin (wild rice) restoration and public education in ceded territory waters in the state budget.

One of the students, Chloeyann Anderson, said, "Wild rice is a part of our culture, it's a part of our history, basically our whole tribe. Our Menominee name, literally means ‘The Wild Rice People.’"

This day was about the students and making sure their stories are heard. Consider making a gift [[link removed]] to support our advocacy work both in and out of the Capitol.
