 Members, with Honor the Earth Organization, hit the streets in Grand Rapids to show their disapproval of the proposed Enbridge Line 3 pipeline replacement. Haiti Clowder shows us how a horse ride hopes to bring more awareness to the other cause. A group with Honor the Earth went on a horse ride against the abandonment of Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline that runs 45 miles to reservations such as Leech Lake. Line 3 carries Canadian oil across northern Minnesota to Wisconsin. In Minnesota, we're in this process now on the reroute of the pipeline and do we even need the oil type thing, that decision is going to be happening soon. In the past, Honor the Earth has stayed within the boundaries of the reservation, but this year they decided to venture off into Grand Rapids. We are riding in support of, you know, getting people aware and for our natural world around us and the resources that we use. The horse rides began in 2013 and the cause has seen growth over the year starting with two horses and four to now more than 10. If Enbridge does replace the 50 year old pipeline, that could have an impact on the water. You've got three major drainages that this pipeline crosses and we feel its location is inappropriate for the water resources that we have. Any little spill is a threat to that water, therefore it's a threat to me, it's a threat to my family, and it's a threat to anything that lives within this area. It's the reason Honor the Earth uses horses because it's also considered a prayer ride. When you're hitting the ground with your feet, it's waking everything up. All those spirits, those that were here before, those that are here in the future, those that are here now, you know, it's waking everything up. Along the horses, riders pray for the water. Rider Todd Uteck keeps his prayer simple. Water is life, you know, so I'm asking creator to help us help that water. Honor the Earth will continue their horse ride this weekend and end in Bemidji.
