Stopping Enbridge from building oil pipeline in White Earth Reservation in MN



She shows and talkes about the Enbridge spill that happened in Kalamazoo... 4 years later still can't drink or fish in Kalamazoo River.

Enbridge is trying to build their 2nd pipeline across MN.. across rivers and lakes and marshes. Including the Mississippi River that travels down to other states.

Winona La Duke and other natives fighting back as well as other MN's.

Published on Sep 5, 2014
Winona LaDuke, Executive Director of the Native American environmental group Honor the Earth, holds a press conference at the Enbridge office in Bemidji, Minnesota following the 'Love Water Not Oil Tour", which was set to raise awareness of the proposed 'Sandpiper' pipeline, which would jeopardize the pristine lakes area, which house the mother load of wild rice, a food considered sacred to the Native American people. Spiritual advisor Michael Dahl joins her horse ride to protect mother earth as they ride in a direction flowing against the current of the oil. The press conference ended ten days of partnerships between community groups and lake associations as Winona and the other riders crossed the 200 miles of proposed pipeline. Oil industry expert Shane Davis also joins the tour. His organization, Fractivist, stands in opposition to the Fracking industry in Colorado, which currently has 53,000 active tracking sites. #lovewaternotoil Filmed on August 28th, 2014 by Keri Pickett with GoPro camera by attorney Frank Bibeau.

They have got to stop this thing. We can't fix the water or the fish once they are damaged. There is no fix. The lakes of Minnesota are an irreplaceable national treasure and should be recognized as such.

Thank you, annm4peace.
