Our sincerest Gchi-Miigwech, Thank you for your overwhelming support for the protection of Anishinaabe Manoomin, Wild Rice in Treaty 20 and the Williams Treaties Anishinaabeg territory, which covers the Kawartha Lakes, Nogojiwanong (Peterborough) and Northumberland County, part of the Great Lakes region in Central-Eastern Ontario. Your generous sharing and encouragement in the comments section, and your financial contributions to this campaign are greatly appreciated. We have reached nearly 10,000 signatories! We still have much work to do and hope you will continue on this journey by sharing this petition with family, friends, co-workers and fellow community members to ensure protection of Manoomin for years to come through honouring Treaty and our collective relationship to Aki (the land) and Nibi (water) that give us life.
