FILE - In this Wednesday, Feb. 6, 1980 file photo, Herb Brooks, coach of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team, stands in front of a hockey photo at the Hall of Fame Club at Madison Square Garden in New York. The NCAA men's hockey tournament bracket this year would have made Herb Brooks proud. For the first time, all five Division I programs from Minnesota made the 16-team field. Minnesota is the No. 3 overall seed. The Gophers are joined by Minnesota State, Minnesota Duluth, St. Cloud State and Bemidji State. Brooks was a player and coach for Minnesota who went on to Olympic and NHL fame. He also helped launch St. Cloud State's leap to Division I in 1987. Brooks spoke often of his desire to grow the college game in his home state. (AP Photo/Ron Frehm, File)

Sections of pipe await placement near Grand Rapids, Minnesota, for the Enbridge Line 3 project on Feb. 8, 2021. Conflict is growing among Indigenous communities along the nearly 400-mile path of Enbridge's Line 3. As the project cuts across the Fond du Lac reservation, treaty lands of several other bands of Ojibwe, and the headwaters of the Mississippi River in northern Minnesota, it has brought not just jobs but controversy and discord into the most intimate spheres of spirituality, family, and community.
