Over 60 Tribes Support Michigan Attorney General's Lawsuit to Close Enbridge's Line 5

Led by the Bay Mills Indian Community, more than 60 tribal nations from Indian Country have weighed in on Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's lawsuit to move the Line 5 oil pipeline from the the heart of the Great Lakes.

The Tribes submitted an amicus brief supporting Nessel's claims and asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit to remand Nessel v. Enbridge to state court, a move opposed by the Canadian giant Enbridge, which owns Line 5.

Line 5 is a dangerous outdated oil-and-gas pipeline that poses unacceptable risks of an oil spill, especially as it travels along the lakebed through the Straits of Mackinac in a four-mile section known as the dual pipelines.
