Enbridge controls the Line 3 pipeline used to transport tar sands from Canada to Lake Superior, but they face opposition from several indigenous-led camps, who want to protect their land.

The Constitution of the United States of America state in Article VI “This Constitution and the Laws of the United States which shall be made Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States shall be the supreme Law of the Land and the Judges in every States shall be bound thereby,”
"$5 million" is a drop in the bucket to oil companies. Enbridge made almost $40 BILLION in 2020.
no oil snaking through water on Reservation Land, not your land, oil exec!
They "spent $5billion…" But only after they were exposed by whistleblowers to have covered up that extra deadly sinking dilbit with sand and grass.
THIS IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE TRYNA DEFUND THE POLICE
I thought this pipeline was replacing and 60+ year old one that’s in bad shape. Why isn’t that reported correctly?
Nobody wants a pipeline. They just wnt the $$$!!! #StopLine3

Oppressed people need to stop embracing Che Guevara. The man was undemocratic. In an interview with Reason TV Paquito D'Rivera said that Che wanted to ban Jazz music in Cuba because he thought Jazz was counter revolutionary.
This is my reservation💗
Honestly, this has been very controversial and devastating for ALL INVOLVED. Thankyou ABC for covering it so well. This isn’t an easy topic to talk about. Miigwech!
People complain because American oil being produced well now Biden’s president and we went from being almost energy independent to begging China for energy, congrats.
Years ago media would investigate and figure out the truth. Why do I get the sense the story is already written before the “investigative” journalism starts?
Despite the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💰💯
Where is Deb Haaland?
Oil companies are part of history like colonisation. They should be added to the CRT classes.
Pipelines are much safer to transport oil & gas than using railroad cars. Which is how it will be done if the pipelines are canceled.
non public agreements..They got paid off
Never trust corporations. they only care about themselves.
that Rob guy is probably paid off.
effing AMERICA. Corporate greed , corruption, injustice. No one cares
Shame on you Nightline. If you are going to do this story, get all sides. More important, why are you showing them breaking the law and then lying. The gentleman talking about being cut from the machinery failed to mention that he could let go himself if need be. HE chose to be cut from that piece of machinery. Take some responsibility for your reporting!
Pure BS again. If you give an easement for a oil pipeline across your property you get a paid for every gallon of oil that goes through that pipeline. There's no way the Indians are against the pipeline. Easy money.
It figures!
Build a casino instead.
I wish i could be there to help. These people are amazing.
We all should stand with the indigenous
This is nonsense. This is the cleanest way to bring this oil to market. Energy security should not be decided by a bunch of primitive Indian tribes.
You can't stop the growth of a country, because of protected lands. So these people are just trying to be a thorn in the growth of our country. She was lawyer before started living off the land. 🤣🤣🤣 Sounds like a move to try and get things shut down. Get out the way or get put down.
Greediest and the most corrupt and destructive country in the world
I could’ve swore they start this a couple of months ago. Biden said they will not be any oil light is going through it isn’t it’s less I guess he was just saying that to become president
If you think tar sands is bad .. Better check Round Up its is almost everything… Quit spraying poison on your stuff..
Yes greed!
No pipeline.
Once the Oil is gone they will take away your right to cut Firewood. Solar and Wind Power isn’t going to cut it when Winter comes. As far as the Tar Sands Oil check out Fort Macmurray in Canada. It’s the cleanest Operation going.
Let’s go Brandon!
Shout out to George Floyd on eighteen months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals🖕!
Build that pipeline screw liberals
I'm a Native. I'm homeless, my family is gone . Nobody wants me or cares. I no longer care. Why should I . Other natives have turned there backs on me. I no longer want to be in this life.
now lets hear from someone who directly financially benefits from the line how do you feel? “i think its great” wow what an unsurprising answer…
Honestly too late to turn back on everything… remember Fukushima ? They were dumping radioactive waste daily into the pacific …. Tuna on the west coast of California tested way above aloud amounts ….. climate change can’t be turned back we’re over the tipping point ….. everything is out of control and nothing surprises me anymore … greed and power have no place in this world
It's america, guess who wins? Justice has become an alternative word for money. 😎
DON' BUILD THE PIPELINE!!!! Why is the electric going off once a day? That isn't fair! Why does my gas cost $7 a gallon? That isn't fair! Why is everything costing so much more? I just don't get it. This isn't fair!! DON'T BUILD THE PIPELINE!!! …..idiots
Wow, so sad!!. But about the planet being warmer is not only cause by this also the negligence of people for putting on fire the forest that also a big impact on the climate look at California Oregon Washington stated Colorado those fire had been created by people not for the Mother Nature 🙌🏼✌🏼.. if they want to build something just do it but don’t hurt others… keep our heads up!!!.
If you can pay double to your electrical bill
U might save the energy problem
