What 'living off the land' looks like for Minnesota tribes

Bill Paulson
Bill Paulson demonstrates how he harvests wild rice in Waubun, Minn., on Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011. Paulson advocates returning to traditional Ojibwe food. For his own family, he hunts, fishes, harvests wild rice and grows produce in his garden at home. Paulson says it is a struggle for some families to access healthy food on the reservation. There are very few grocery stores, and getting to a grocery store requires gas money and a vehicle -- things that not everyone can afford.
