Gathering Wild Rice, 1849-1855, Seth Eastman, American, 1808-1875, 6 1/4 × 8 3/4 in. (15.88 × 22.23 cm) (image)9 11/16 × 12 3/4 in. (24.61 × 32.39 cm) (sheet), Watercolor, United States, 19th century, This is the first known picture by a non-Native artist of people harvesting Minnesotas proudest hotdish ingredient. The birchbark canoe indicates these women are probably Anishinaabe (Ojibwe); Dakota people typically carved canoes from tree trunks. One woman steadies the canoe while the others bend stalks over the gunwale and gently release the seeds with paddles. The wild grain is then gathered, dried, and hulled. Ohiyesa (also called Charles Eastman), a grandson of Seth Eastman and the Dakota woman Wakaninajinwin, described the next step: 'The women then pour it upon a robe and begin to shake it so that the chaff will be separated by the wind.'
