Dozens of protesters flowed over a Line 3 construction site on Thursday, July 1 in the Park Rapids area.
According to a media release on behalf of the Giniw Collective, an Indigenous women-led environmental protection group, construction was halted as a Native matriarch locked herself to a piece of heavy equipment and the executive director of Rainforest Action Network risked arrest.
Complaining that Enbridge Energy is drilling under more than 20 rivers and 800 wetlands in Anishinaabe treaty territory, the Giniw release claimed that a dozen people were arrested while Hubbard County law enforcement operated a riot line at the entrance to the Namewag Camp near Hinds Lake.

MUFJ board beats back climate resolution as activists falter in Japan Today 06:00 am JST Today | 06:37 am JST TOKYO
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group shareholders on Tuesday defeated a proposal for the bank to align its business with global targets on climate change, dealing a win for the board over investors pushing for more action on the environment.
Activist investors in Europe and the United States trying to halt climate change have successfully compelled companies to divest their fossil fuel holdings but the tactic has failed in Japan so far. This is the fourth time since 2020 a so-called shareholder climate resolution has been defeated after being brought before a Japanese listed company.
