Wisconsin strengthens wild rice protection and tribal treaty rights with new council, laws, and recognition.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Wisconsin advanced efforts to honor tribal treaty rights and protect wild rice, a culturally vital resource.
Governor Tony Evers signed Executive Order #277, establishing a Wild Rice Stewardship Council, designating the first week of September 2026 as Wild Rice Week, and requiring state agencies to collaborate with tribes and include Indigenous languages in park signage.
The order strengthens protections for treaty rights related to fishing, hunting, and gathering amid growing threats from climate change and invasive species.
Simultaneously, two new bills were introduced: one requiring mining projects to prove they won’t harm water resources, and another granting legal rights to nature, both reflecting Indigenous perspectives on environmental stewardship.
