Stop The Line 3 Pipeline

Indigenous water protectors gather and jingle dance at an Enbridge shareholder meeting in Calgary, Alberta last May to protest the Line 3 pipeline project that is proposed to cross the most pristine lakes, rivers, and sacred anishinaabeg territories across Canada, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. This pipeline threatens the well being of the earth, and its peoples. It is important that we fight back for the next 7 generations.

Enbridge, the largest pipeline company in North America is trying to build a pipeline through Anishinaabeg territories in Minnesota.

Enbridge’s Line 3 oil pipeline is proposed to transport tar sands oil over 1000 miles, from Hardisty, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, through the heart of Anishinaabe territory and some of the most pristine lakes and sacred wild rice beds in the world.

The proposed new route endangers the Great Lakes, home to one fifth of the world’s fresh water, and some of the most delicate soils, aquifers and pristine lakes in northern Minnesota, It also threatens critical resources on Ojibwe treaty lands, where tribal members retain the rights to hunt, fish, gather, hold ceremony, and travel. It is our responsibility as water protectors to prevent this. Tribal governments, environmental organizations, and community members are uniting to stop Line 3. We expect a protracted legal and regulatory battle in the coming years.
