Housing and Development Newsletter Line 3 is being built to carry climate wrecking tar sands through Indigenous territory without consent. The Red Lake Nation, White Earth Nation, and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe are all suing to stop the pipeline. Prominent native activists have described the pipeline as “cultural genocide” and Indigenous activists in northern Minnesota are leading the direct actions on the ground. If built, Line 3 would release as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as 50 new coal-fired power plants, or as much greenhouse gas as the entire rest of the state of Minnesota, activists report. “The fight to stop this pipeline is the fight to save our planet," they said.
