Peace Pipeline/

Indigenous pipeline to bisect minor American city!

GOAL: Drive home the horror of what pipeline companies do to indigenous lands, by reversing the situation.
SUCCESS: 8/10. The series of interventions — at a fancy ballroom, at a golf course, at a cemetery, and even in the city council — ensured that Duluthians would find out about this, with the only potential response being a disarming laughter.
