October 7 Wild Rice
Peter David, Great Lake Fish and Wildlife Commission
​

Peter David is wildlife biologist with the Great Lakes Indian Fish
and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC). Originally from Green Bay,
he received BS and Master Degrees in Wildlife Ecology from
UW-Madison before heading north to work for GLIFWC, which
is headquartered on the Bad River Reservation near Ashland. In
his new position, Peter developed an interest in manoomin
(wild rice), encouraged and guided by the tribal elders and
ricers who shared their Traditional Ecological Knowledge
regarding this cultural and ecological treasure. More than three
decades later his relationship with manoomin continues to
expand, as a harvester, finisher, researcher, steward and
consumer of wild rice.
