Sturgeon are ancient beings whose presence graced the stories, songs and memories of countless generations of people. Then they were banished by greed. Today, with the dreams and hands of fisheries biologists, and tribal members, the sturgeon are returning to the rivers and lakes of the forest country just west of the Great Lakes, returning in all their glory. They are returning to the White Earth Reservation, and as they return, they teach us a lesson of connectivity and our own relationships with each other. That lesson, we believe, is one we that we can begin undoing some of what we have done to each other and with the realization that we are all ultimately connected.
Working in collaboration with the White Earth Biology Department, the White Earth Land Recovery Project has seen another successful release of sturgeon back into the waters of the reservation. On a sunny day in September, Randy Zortman of the WE Biology Dept. and his staff released 8000 sturgeon into White Earth Lake and 5000 into Round Lake.
This is my one of my favorite of Winona's stories. Winona and the folks at White Earth Land Recovery Project (W.E.L.R.P.) and Native Harvest, now about 35 people are devoted to the earth and sustainability. Up at East Round Lake in White Earth Earth Day has been every day since time immemorial.

The sturgeon is also one of the pillars of Russian folklore, folk tales, myths - I would even say one of its totems - based in pre-Christian, Shamanistic times. It is regarded as the king of fishes.
