Join us on Monday, Oct. 21, for a dinner and discussion with Mike Wiggins Jr. and Aurora Conley of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to learn about one of the biggest threats to the #GreatLakes. Hear about the tribe's years-long efforts to #ShutDownLine5, which has leaked 35 times in its roughly 70-year tenure and released a total of more than 1.13 million gallons of oil into the environment.

Bad River is an Ojibwe community on Lake Superior famous for its wild rice, wetlands and sturgeon-supporting rivers. Since 2013, the tribe has been in a protracted struggle with Enbridge, a Canadian pipeline corporation, to remove a 71 year-old pipeline from the reservation and the Great Lakes watershed. What happens at Bad River has ramifications for the entire Great Lakes region.
