Winona LaDuke and Honor the Earth hold their 4th annual spiritual horse ride against the current of oil as her Ojibwe community is facing new Enbridge pipelines which threaten the sacred wild rice beds of Northern Minnesota. Winona LaDuke, Executive Director of Honor the Earth, embarks on a horse ride against the proposed Enbridge Sandpiper pipeline. Along the way the riders will raise awareness of the proposed pipeline by informing native communities and landowners of the inherent risks of the project and their rights to oppose it. The ride traverses the Sandy Lake and Rice Lake watersheds, a mother lode of wild rice in Minnesota. The proposed pipeline would threaten traditional wild rice beds from East to West.
