Superior,  WI - On Wednesday, Superior police arrested a female water protector at the Enridge Energy Pipeline 3 for trespassing and two other people are locked down inside a pipeline as well. Native Americans and allies are protesting the oil pipeline that has crossed from Minnesota and going through Ojibwe Treaty Native American lands, which includes hunting grounds and wetlands in Douglas County Wisconsin.

When finished, the crude oil pipeline will allow for millions of gallons of oil to flow into the U.S. from Canada. The water protectors fear that an oil spill disaster is eminent and Lake Superior will be polluted, if oil spills into the lake.
