After a 1.3 million natural gas leak on Line 5 in Wisconsin, Enbridge went ahead and created a bypass without state authorization. That's not okay - that's why we need Gov. Evers and his administration to protect the Great Lakes, not corporate polluters. #ShutDownLine5

Michigan tribes say 'flawed' federal review of Line 5 project violates treaty rights
The proposal to replace an aging segment of the Line 5 pipeline in the Great Lakes still needs state approval. Tribal nations say a permit approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was a breach of treaty rights.

Yep! You could say Eriehonan but (as far as we can tell and happy to be corrected) Erie was used as a shortened version. The first recorded naming from a non native was Lac Érié in the mid 1600s.
The name of Lake Erie was taken from the Native Americans that lived along the south shore when Europeans arrived in the early 1600s. Erie is a short form of the Iroquoian word “Erielhonan” meaning "long tail" and refers to the Eastern Cougar. Lake Erie is the smallest of the Great Lakes by volume, the shallowest and second-smallest in surface area (9,776 square miles). Globally, Lake Erie is the 15th largest lake in the world by volume and can be divided into the western, central and eastern basins. Lake Erie also includes three major connecting channels: the St. Clair River, the Detroit River and the Niagara River.

Enbridge has been selling their tunnel scheme as the "safe" solution. There's nothing safe about 500,000 gallons of oil running through our #GreatLakes every day. An untested pipeline tunnel that would keep a 73 year old pipeline open for years only increases the danger. #ShutDownLine5
