I'm going to So, Hello listeners this is Nick co-host of the Red Nation podcast. Thanks so much for

your support. We have reached 1 million listeners on our podcast,

which is quite historic for us.

We started on Indigenous Peoples Day in 2019

and have grown quite a bit.

Thank you to all the Patreon subscribers. The audio you're about to listen to was recorded about a week and a half ago when I was at the Line 3 Struggle at the Red Lake Treaty Camp. It was recorded several days before the pipeline

company moved in the drill to drill under the Red Lake River. I can say with authority that the effects of climate change have actually hindered the progress of line 3 construction and it's quite devastating.

There's a historic drought up in northern Minnesota.

Some of the pipeline permits have been pulled at some of the waterways.

The river where we were camped next to got so hot that the shellfish had actually baked to death and some of the shellfish, the freshwater clams, you know, are over 100 years old.

There were wildfires, you know, up in Northern Canada or up in Canada, north of us and the smoke was covering the sky, but also creating really red and eerie sun sets as well as red and eerie

moon rises so listen to this podcast but also remember that this is an ongoing struggle against Line 3 pipeline.

It's not over, you know, 70% of the pipeline has been constructed, but they're at a critical

phase right now where they need people at the

camps to protect the water, not just for the indigenous people, the Anishnabe people

whose treaty lands and treaty waters and treaty rice are under threat, but also for water for everyone as well as, you know, living on a planet in the future. This is a historic struggle. We'll put in the show notes where you can get involved, you can support Red Lake Treaty Camp.

It's a quite dire situation right now, but nonetheless the bravery and courage of water protectors should inspire us all to take action. So thank you very much
