Minnesota’s tribes are among the opponents who promise to continue the fight against the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline replacement project. A state regulatory panel cleared the way for the pipeline that currently crosses two reservations. The new route avoids reservation land but threatens resources like pristine waterways and wild rice beds. The company hopes oil will start flowing by next year. Opponents warn of appeals and even mass protests.
