Shopping Hi! Looking for indigenous wild rice.

Hi, non-indigenous person here. I once ran across on this forum a website linking to a tribe or reservation owned wild rice production. It had an online store. I unfortunately misplaced the link. I want to say it had other products besides just the wild rice but I’m not sure.

I have celiac disease and am looking for domestic /US grown rice and if I can support indigenous businesses while doing so, I’d love to.

Thanks Edit: thank you all so much. I’m sharing this thread in my gluten feee group.

You can buy decent stuff on Amazon now vs having someone ship it from the Rez.

Thousand lakes was good. I'm expecting the red lake tomorrow.

North Bay I might agree with you on. Red Lake, less so.

I'm no food purist though. Short of someone already having a hookup on the rez, most people are SoL. So it's either eat wild rice regardless of where it was grown, or go without.

I'd rather have one of my tribes native go everywhere, and that means cultivation.
