Protect Our Manoomin Statement

The Protect Our Manoomin council reviewed solidarity commitments that we’ve made in support of other organizations involved with the struggle to maintain the health and well-being of our environment and the wildlife and plants that sustain balanced eco-systems. We support both Native and non-Native efforts and, in particular, we support Native-led grassroots groups with a focus on Anishinaabe principals.

We have decided to withdraw support of the Northwoods Wolf Alliance (NWA).  NWA was founded by an Anishinaabe woman and a non-Native woman.  The original intent of NWA was to integrate Anishinaabe values in the opposition to the wolf hunt. The NWA reads: The Northwoods Wolf Alliance is a grassroots coalition of Anishinaabeg people and their allies working to protect ma'iingan (wolf), particularly in Anishinaabe Akiing (Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan).

Because of conflicting circumstances, the Anishinaabe co-founder left NWA. Her departure marks a critical gap in the Anishinaabe leadership role in the NWA. Therefore, Protect Our Manoomin feels that NWA no longer represents a focused Anishinaabe agenda or viewpoint.

While Protect Our Manoomin applauds the past and present work of NWA, we have decided to withdraw our affiliation with NWA.
