Water is Life | Indigenous Lifeways Threatened by Enbridge’s Line 5
Tribal leaders and Native community members share how #Enbridge #Line5 currently impacts and the proposed tunnel will continue to harm Native communities in the Mackinac Straits of Michigan. Through sharing about lifeways and connection to the Straits, they affirm that #WaterIsLife. They envision Michiganders safeguarding the Great Lakes out of gratitude for the life they give and the place of gathering they provide. Michiganders powering quality of life for all with renewable energy that never risks life-giving water or the places that make life worth living. For more information:

First dugout canoe produced on Mooningwanaakaning
(Madeline Island) since 1854
Saturday and Sunday, August 20-21 were ceremonial days for the “oshkimitigojiman” canoe extended to those who were deeply involved with producing the first dugout canoe on Mooningwanaakaning (Madeline Island) since 1854, as far as we can determine.
Saturday there were prayers and songs for touching the water it’s first time as a dugout on the north end 1854 Chippewa Treaty Fishing Camp, carried into the lake by the women. Sunday it had a naming ceremony, “Gitchigaming Manitowid”, or In The Spirit of Lake Superior” and she was given several maiden rides at Joni’s Beach. I didn’t even roll this one.
A public dedication of the canoe will take place Friday, September 30 at 4 PM at the La Pointe Center Arts Gallery at 103 Main Street, Mooningwaanakanig on 1854 Treaty Day, with riding time on Saturday, October 1 in the nearby bay at the end of Main Street.
My appreciation to Zac and the Red Lake delegation for that special song, rarely heard and almost lost that joined the sky, the water and this white pine together on the big lake, and the words of wisdom spoken by Frank Montano of Red Cliff, about the meaning of all living things working together to leave this world a better place.

David Joe Bates
During the May 12, 2021 Enbridge Eviction events in Mackinaw City and Harbor Springs, Michigan, David Joe Bates of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa explains how Enbridge's Line 5 threatens the Tribe's heartland — the Bad River, or Mashkii Ziibii, "Medicine River." The river is creating an oxbow — a new, shorter channel — bringing it within 30 feet of the fossil-fuel pipeline. Built to last 50 years, Line 5 is now 69 years old. It was put in Native territories without consent, and today is running illegally in both Wisconsin and Michigan, lacking permits from two Tribes — the Bad River Band and the Bay Mills Indian Community — plus the State of Michigan and the US Forest Service. #RejectLine5 #WaterIsLife Produced by Honor the Earth. Filmed and edited by Keri Pickett.
Down in the River to Pray
While in jail for protecting the waters of northern Minnesota from Line 3, the Shell River 7 passed the time by re-writing the words to “Down in the River to Pray,” adding original, new lyrics * to the plaintive melody of “The Good Old Way” first published in 1867.
Debuting April 22 during an appearance by Indigenous leader Winona LaDuke on Native Roots Radio, and live streamed on Honor the Earth (honorearth.org), the music video highlights scenes from the prayerful resistance of late last year at the Mississippi River in northern Minnesota and the January 2022 recording session in Minneapolis.

Shell River 7
On July 19, 2021. six Elder women and a photojournalist were arrested along the Shell River in northern Minnesota—Winona LaDuke, Kelly Maracle, Trish Weber, Cheryl Brands, Mary Klein, and Barbara With as they sat peacefully in lawn chairs on the banks of the river, chained to each other and praying to protect the water. K. Flo Razowsky, a photographer, was also arrested while working on assignment to cover the ceremony. Water protectors in canoes and on horseback prayed in solidarity with their action to stop Line 3, a tar sands pipeline bringing 760,000 barrels of oil per day across 340 miles of the upper Mississippi River basin in northern and central Minnesota on 1855 and 1854 Treaty territories of the Anishinaabe people
