The dangerous Enbridge “Line 5” pipeline threatens the waters of Wisconsin and Michigan, violates treaty rights, and pumps thousands of gallons of crude oil through a decaying tunnel in Lake Michigan.

We stand with Communities United by Water and all those fighting to replace Line 5 with a living future.
In our Anishinaabeg prophecies, this is called the time of the Seventh Fire.

It will be our choice upon which path to embark. That is where we are.
