The founder of Camp Miigizi wants construction to stop until court cases are resolved
FOND DU LAC RESERVATION, Minn. - When Taysha Martineau found a piece of land for sale next to Enbridge's pipeline corridor through the Fond du Lac Reservation, she raised $30,000 on GoFundMe and bought it.
Within a week, the parcel on Magney Drive became a home base for activists, who call themselves Water Protectors, opposed to Enbridge's Line 3, the 340-mile oil pipeline under construction across northern Minnesota.
Some at the camp stay for a few days and nights at a time; others drop in during the day for planned protests at construction sites throughout the reservation.
