Film Description: "Each fall, for generations, the families of the Pauingassi band have camped by northern Manitoba lakes, and combed the reedy shores with brooms, paddles and baskets for manomin—wild rice. The trade with the bush pilot begins the process by which a staple for Indigenous peoples and sacred crop becomes a white man's luxury food. A quiet but haunting film." -- National Film Board of Canada (source) |
