Guided by the spirit of her grandmother and the wisdom of her elderly uncle, filmmaker Michelle Derosier struggles to persuade four generations of her kin to revive their traditional annual wild rice (Manomin) harvest. Realizing they are only a few years away from the complete loss of this ancient tradition, she hopes the teachings of her ancestors can be passed on to her children and her grandchildren before it's too late.
