Native Youth Finish 250-Mile "Paddle to Protect" to Oppose Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Minnesota, a group of Native American youth have finished a
three-week-long, 250-mile canoe voyage across northern Minnesota to
highlight the ecological threat posed by Enbridge's proposed Line 3 tar
sands pipeline. The proposed line would carry tar sands oil from
Alberta, Canada, to a terminal in Superior, Wisconsin. Opponents say the
pipeline would cross through Minnesota's lakes, wild rice region and the
territory covered by the 1855 Ojibwe treaty.
