SWATARA, Minn. -- Today, Thursday morning, seven water protectors are locked to each other, blocking work on an Enbridge Line 3 pump station.
Enbridge announced it will be ceasing work in sensitive wetland areas per Minnesota law, but will continue work on pump stations and sites in “non-sensitive areas”. A steady stream of water protectors committed to stand with Anishinaabe treaty territory and future generations grows.

Ah-ho My Relations,
Again many things have happened since I last wrote an update on our fight to defend our sacred mountain. The beginning of our gathering is only a few weeks away, and the local county government continues to license and permit booze and concert venues all around Bear Butte. In that respect nothing has changed, we still must come together this summer to stand in solidarity, united in our determination to defend Bear Butte. On a personal level I suffered a mild heart problem which hospitalized me for a while and has restricted my activities somewhat. I'm better now and the good thing is that Debra White Plume, Natalie Hand and Vic Camp have carried on in notifying people and societies of our efforts.

Lithium mining is now a global crisis for Indigenous Peoples. As the Shoshone Paiute led walk and run continues to Thacker pass, Nevada, for protection of the land -- the role of lithium mining, in the UK and US CIA backed coup in Bolivia against Evo Morales, is exposed.
Already lawsuits have been filed against U.S. companies for the deaths of child workers in the Congo, dying in the cobalt mines. Cobalt is used in the lithium batteries for electric cars, tablets and cellphones.
