FOND du LAC INDIAN RESERVATION, Minn. (AP) â About a month ago, Taysha Martineau walked out of the protest camp she built in a small patch of woods near her home on the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation and knelt in the middle of the road.
Elders from her community surrounded her, scolding, telling her to leave.
âGo!â they shouted. âWe want you out of here! Donât do this to us!â
For several weeks, Martineau had been welcoming activists to the plot of land she had dubbed Camp Migizi â which means âeagleâ in the Ojibwe language â to take part in the yearslong fight against the Line 3 oil pipeline, a 380-mile replacement project that Enbridge Energy began building across northern Minnesota in December.
HUALIEN COUNTY, Taiwan (AP) â A train barreled into an unmanned truck that had rolled onto the track Friday in Taiwan, leaving at least 51 people dead and dozens injured in the islandâs deadliest rail disaster. Many passengers were crushed, while some survivors were forced to climb out of windows and walk along the trainâs roof to safety.
The truckâs emergency brake was not properly engaged, according to the governmentâs disaster relief center, and the vehicle slid about 65 feet down a hillside. Minutes later, the trainâs lead car crashed into it, according to Railways Administration official Weng Hui-ping, just before the train entered a tunnel.
