The Michigan Anishinaabek Caucus will host a virtual Town Hall on Line 5, Enbridge's 68-year-old pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (ET) Tuesday, November 16, on the Michigan Anishinaabek Caucus Facebook page. Anyone on Facebook may attend this live event. (See UPDATE above.)
Dr. Kyle Whyte -- Citizen of the Potawatomi Nation, Anishinaabek Caucus member and professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan -- will be convening a conversation on the Line 5 eviction, the proposed tunnel and the cultural site that was discovered last year under the Straits.
The town hall panel will feature Andrea Pierce, member of Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and chair and founder of Anishinaabek Caucus; Dr. Martin Reinhardt, member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and tenured professor of Native American Studies at Northern Michigan University; Biidaaban Reinhardt, member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians; Sean McBrearty of Oil and Water Don't Mix; and others.
This is the third in a series of virtual Town Halls sponsored by the Anishinaabek Caucus during November, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.
