The Seven fires prophecy provides the detents of the life of the Anishinaabe people on Turtle Island. "In the Third Fire the Anishinabe will find the path to their chosen ground, a land in the west to which they must move their families. This will be the land where food grows upon the waters." In the Ojibwe language, "manoomin" is what settler Europeans now call "wild rice." It is a foodstuff, and a sacred symbol that marks a thousand year journey, their identity and their relationship to sustaining enviornments.
