White Earth Reservation, Honor The Earth, RISE Coalition, MN350, and Sierra Club North Star Chapter collaboration.
On November 26-27, 2021, just weeks after Enbridge began flowing Tar Sands through their new Line 3/93 pipeline, our Flyover Partners performed a fixed-wing flyover of the entire corridor with thermal imaging rated to 0.3°C/0.25m capability.
Grant Support
Waadookawaad Amikwag would not be able to provide the water testing and scientific analysis without the generous and gracious support of the Center for Applied Environmental Science. Alongside a grant from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, providing equipment and technical support for a flurry of Summer 2023 field community science work, Waadookawaad Amikwag has been able to make extensive progress in our documentation of Enbridge Line 3/93 damage sites. We are ever grateful for these critical funding and collaborative relationship opportunities.
Healing Minnesota Stories
Scott Russell has been blogging on the Line 3 project since long before the project came to be. His collaboration with Waadookawaad Amikag in 2023 has been a boon to our ability to reach the public with our news.
In July of 2023, he reported findings from Waadookawaad Amikwag regarding what appeared to the Team to be another aquifer breach along the Line 3/93 corridor. Following his publication, the state regulatory agencies and Enbridge finally acknowledged this breach to the public.
