‘They want to do it the right way’

A prayer ceremony and ground blessing for Mother Earth was recently held in Jacobson, MN as Enbridge’s Line 3 Replacement Project got underway in Minnesota. Community liaison Diane, an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, says: “I’m very honored to work with Enbridge. They want to do it the right way. They’re looking at our culture, and how to be respectful to the land and the people . . . we want to honor our culture and our beliefs. We all want the same thing. We want everyone to be safe and healthy.”
