From August 2nd to 8th, more than three dozen people joined the Anishinaabe Water Walk from Eagle Lake to Shoal Lake, in Treaty 3. The Walk covered more than 125 km along the route of TransCanada's proposed Energy East pipeline project. Grassroots Anishinaabe People are asserting that it will be Anishinaabe People themselves who will have the final say on whether or not this pipeline and other industrial projects go through in Anishinaabe Territories.
