Manistee Nme' a Lake Sturgeon Success Story

The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians has developed a unique hands-on approach to Lake Sturgeon restoration. This film explores the historical significance of this great fish as explained by Tribal members. It follows biological staff who are helping to restore the population in the Big Manistee River, Michigan. This film offers a message of hope for sturgeon restoration efforts that are bringing the Tribal and non-tribal communities together and back to the river with the Nme' (lake sturgeon in Annishnabemowin). It also includes the first ever underwater footage of Lake Sturgeon in the Big Manistee River.
