Water is Life: Indigenous Lifeways Threatened by Enbridge’s Line 5

From Anishinaabek Caucus:

In this new video from the Anishinaabek Caucus, 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. They envision Michiganders powering quality of life for all with renewable energy that never risks life-giving water or the places that make life worth living.
