Indigenous Activists Continue Resistance Against Line 3 After Setback in Court
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Water and land defenders in Minnesota are continuing resistance actions
against Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline. On Tuesday, activists blockaded a
semi-truck loaded with drilling equipment, lying on the ground and
attaching themselves to the vehicle. At least 30 people were arrested
Tuesday. This came a day after a Minnesota court upheld a state approval
of the pipeline's expansion. The Native-led group Honor the Earth said,
"Line 3 is a clear violation of human rights + cultural rights to live
as Anishinaabe people promised in the #1855Treaty. [President Biden]
must #Stop Line3." Click here to see our interview with Indigenous
leader Winona La Duke.
