The Horse Ride Against the Current of the Oil

Song in video by: Annie Humphrey featuring John Trudell

The tour this year is expanding to fight the proposed expansion of Line 3 and the proposed Line 61 pipeline projects. We will ride horses along proposed pipeline route against the current of the oil while connecting with the land spiritually celebrating the abundance of our Anishinaabe Akiing.
