‘We try to bring people together’

Michigan-based 7th Legacy, LLC, a Native American-owned business, helps facilitate interaction between Tribal governments and the private sector for environmental, economic, community resilience and Indigenous awareness-related initiatives. “Only good things can come from talking. Miscommunication and misinformation can happen when people aren’t talking,” says managing partner Kristen. Since 2018, 7th Legacy has helped connect Enbridge with Tribal communities in multiple ways, including environmental restoration projects, cultural surveys and business summits. “Talking to Enbridge is very easy,” says managing partner Desmond. “All you have to do is call them, tell them who you are, and say you want to talk. See for yourself—with your own eyes.”
