The legends of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa (also called Ojibwe or Anishinaabeg) tell of how a great vision guided our ancestors westward through the Great Lakes in search of "the food that grows upon the water." The vision led them to Nett Lake, located in what is now northern Minnesota, where they found Manomin, known today as wild rice, covering the lake for as far as they could see.
