Presented by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Fisheries Enhancement Facility & Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council. This event honors Lake Sturgeon, known as Nmé in Anishinaabemowin, & the cultural & ecological role they play in northern Michigan. The celebration will include a traditional Odawa ceremony to wish the young fish well on their journey, followed by the release of hundreds of juvenile sturgeon into the river. Carry a sturgeon to the riverbank & release it by hand directly into the waters. This year includes a special release - Winnie, a sturgeon that has resided at the Watershed Discovery Center for the past year. Also enjoy conservation education activities, lawn games & a community BBQ.
