The Keystone Xl Pipeline's End
Faith Spotted Eagle is a land defender and water defender. For 13 years she's been on the frontline in the battle against the Keystone XL Pipeline. Today she's celebrating. News came late Wednesday that TransCanada Energy is terminating Phase 4 of the Keystone pipeline. Faith joins us to talk about her journey and this victory. People opposing the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline kicked off a summer of resistance this past week as they participated in the Treaty People Gathering organized by several Indigenous and allied organizations. Taking place in Northern Minnesota, Indigenous people and allies gathered to oppose the controversial project. Our national correspondent, Mary Annette Pember takes us to the gathering. This month is Indigenous Heritage Month in Canada. And one First Nations hip hop duo is getting noticed by millions. Snotty Nose Rez Kids recently found themselves on the top of both YouTube and Spotify. Vincent Schilling talked to the group about their popularity and how they blend tradition with hip hop.
