(I think I saw a suggestion to draw that meme with them somewhere before, but I can't remember where exactly... Whoever came up with this first - you're a genius)
I have a new character with little to no lore that I am currently obsessed with and that is Dahlia 99-40, the most resilient, experienced, and badass of all Redjack frames (sorry Arcite)
Line 3 brings fossil fuel from the tar sands of Alberta, across northern Minnesota, to the Duluth-Superior area,
where Line 5 then collects and continues to transport the fuel across Wisconsin and Michigan to the
Sarnia (Ontario) area north of Detroit. In June 2020, the Alberta oil
sands pipeline portion in Minnesota, Line 3, was confronted and delayed
by Minnesota communities as the Alberta oil industry was erratic and in turmoil.
Both Line 3 and Line 5 have faced consistent resistance from multiple
Native communities at different points along the pipeline routes. Line 5
has already spilled over 1 million gallons of oil, most of it in the
dense forests of the Upper Peninsula near the Wisconsin-Michigan border,
and it was scheduled for a major update in 2020 in Michigan (an
underwater pipeline beneath Lake Superior, from which the infrastructure
would also draw water).
The governor of Michigan has ordered that Line 5 construction end, though Canadian corporations/governments have vowed to fight this order. Meanwhile, the portion of Line 3 in Minnesota has been in headlines throughout spring 2021 as hundreds protest across Minnesota, and others take direct action at pipeline construction sites, leading to sustained and heavy p0lice presence, surveillance, arrests, etc. Despite the spring 2021 cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline project (another Alberta-based project nearby, with a route through Montana and South Dakota), the current US presidential administration is backing Line 3 and also declined to stop development of the infamous Dakota Access pipeline.
We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee by Redbone plays in the background of the Tik Tok.
White text starts at the top of the screen, displaying information. “The song you are hearing was not allowed to be played on U.S radio stations in 1970’s”.
The dancer makes hoops go from Eagle to Earth form.
“It created by a popular Native American band called Redbone and it hit number 1 charts all over Europe.”
“The song raised awareness about what happened at Wounded Knee”
They finish the Earth form, centering themself. “Let’s get it trending”.
Screen switches to the Tik Toker’s name and username, James Jones / @notoriouscree
“The Iron Lords thought we could use our strength to bring peace. Saladin still believes this. But perhaps, a peace born from violence is no peace at all.
