<div>The 1854 Treaty Home embodies the difference between a house and a home. Our Home continues to be a lively hub of resistance - providing support to unhoused relatives, meeting space for indigenous water protectors, as well as a "Home". Watch for development of more activities to protect water as the Line 5 reroute across Northern Wisconsin and Michigan threatens us all. We pray for unity and healing. May the Home keep bringing Water Protectors together! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We welcome your support! This spring we'll attend to some the usual maintenance of the Treaty Home along with payment of property taxes and support of the next walk.

<div><strong>More of the Story</strong>
</div>
<div>Water has spirit, Water is alive and Water sustains all life. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2021, a group committed to praying for and with Water began to walk. With Indigenous leaders, they walked over 250 miles from the Mississippi River headwaters to the Minnesota capitol in St. Paul for a day to Honor Treaties and fight the Line 3 Pipeline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The group of Water Protectors continued. Walking, grieving and praying for another 160 miles along the proposed pipeline route across Northern Minnesota and ending in Superior, Wisconsin where a refinery belches death into the air next to one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world - Gitchi Gami.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2022 they walked another 150 miles along Lake Superior from Duluth to Ashland uniting the fight against Line 3 and Line 5. Hundreds welcomed the walkers and celebrated at the Communities United By Water festival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2023, the group gathered in Michigan for the Water Is Life festival and walked the Mackinac Bridge - a massive, 5-mile suspension bridge across the Straits of Mackinac. An old pipeline built in the 1950s lies through this same expanse of water - threatening to rupture by boat anchor or storm. A proposed rebuild would construct a tunnel under the stretch of water that connects Great Lakes Michigan and Huron. Known for its unique and variable currents that regularly change direction, this project flirts with an unprecedented oil spill disaster at the hands of the same corporation responsible for the Kalamazoo, MI and Grand Rapids, MN spills - Enbridge. 
</div>

</div>
<div>This mobile Water Protector community is retracing the steps of Anishnaabe who migrated west in search of Manoomin - food that grows on the water - aka wild rice. The prophecies foretell a reverse migration to recover what was lost along the way. Your support lifts up Water Protectors to protect and heal Mother Earth.
