Nmé (Sturgeon) Celebration

Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (LTBB) Fisheries Enhancement Facility, invites the community to the annual Nmé (Sturgeon) Celebration on Saturday, September 14, from noon to 2 p.m. at Lumberman’s Village Park in Wolverine, Michigan.

This special event marks a significant moment in conservation as we bid farewell to “Gimiwan,” the Watershed Discovery Center’s resident sturgeon, who will be released into the Sturgeon River along with hundreds of juvenile sturgeon raised at the LTBB Fisheries Enhancement Facility. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage with ongoing conservation efforts, interact with the sturgeon in a touch tank, and participate in the ceremonial release of these young fish into the river.
