FOND du LAC INDIAN RESERVATION, Minn. (AP) â About a month ago, Taysha Martineau walked out of the protest camp she built in a small patch of woods near her home on the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation and knelt in the middle of the road.
Elders from her community surrounded her, scolding, telling her to leave.
âGo!â they shouted. âWe want you out of here! Donât do this to us!â
For several weeks, Martineau had been welcoming activists to the plot of land she had dubbed Camp Migizi â which means âeagleâ in the Ojibwe language â to take part in the yearslong fight against the Line 3 oil pipeline, a 380-mile replacement project that Enbridge Energy began building across northern Minnesota in December.
