A child holds a mnoomin seed and imagines all the life that made a single seed possible—Mayfly, Pike, Muskrat, Eagle and Moose, all had a part to play in bringing the seed into being. What will happen if the seed sprouts? Underwater leaves will shelter young fish, shoots will protect ducklings, stalks will feed larvae, in turn providing food for bats…until finally mnoomin will be ready to harvest again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe follow the child and family through a harvest day as they make offerings of tobacco, then gently knock ripe seeds into their canoe.
