Another Pipeline threatens Native Lands
|
TWH – While opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline succeeded in halting its construction, another oil pipeline is nearing completion despite resistance. This other pipeline, Line 3, will replace and enlarge a currently existing pipeline. Line 3 cuts across Ojibwe lands in Minnesota and threatens the wild rice crop of the Ojibwe tribe. It also threatens the Ojibwe waterways and the Mississippi’s headwaters. The Ojibwe, the Chippewa, and other tribes belong to the Anishinaabe cultural and linguistic group.
