Pledge to Protect Our Indigenous Ancestors from the Enbridge Pipeline
Enbridge Gas wants to run a 28-mile pipeline through Chatham County, across the Haw and Rocky Rivers, and through documented Tuscarora village sites, in a landscape where Tuscarora, Sissipahaw, Occaneechi, Saponi, and other Siouan peoples lived, traded, and buried their ancestors.
Enbridge hasn’t filed its permit applications yet. When it does, NC DEQ and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will open a short window for public comment, and the Army Corps must review the pipeline’s effects on cultural and burial sites. Comments from Indigenous people who carry ties to this land carry special weight in that review.
Whether you are an enrolled citizen of a state-recognized tribe, part of a community without recognition, or a descendant with family ties to these lands, your voice matters. Pledge now, and we’ll send you a ready-to-send comment the day the comment period opens, with room to share your own connection to the land.
