These first people hunted, fished and gathered raw resources to be processed into tools and other useful materials. By the time the first fur trade forts were established in the district in 1795, the Cree had named this area Otinow (a place where everyone came). However, First Nations may have used this area well before this European contact. About 12,000 years ago the study area was under a large lake, with a vast area surrounding it.

  • What Can Art Do About Pipeline Politics?
    AGAINST the DAY Brian Holmes What Can Art Do about Pipeline Politics? Chicago is known for its blues bars, its futures markets, its gun crimes, and the sprawling rail yards that make it the freight hub of North America. What’s missing from that list is a vast nexus of underground pipes that exerts a subterranean influence on the entire metropolitan region. Without the knowledge of most inhabitants, the “Windy City” has become the Mid- western capital of the oil industry. Let us have a look from the four directions. Up north, Enbridge’s main lines from Edmonton take aim at Chicago from the 450-acre Superior Ter- minal in Duluth, Minnesota. One of these pipes, infamous Line 61, is gradu- ally being tripled in capacity to reach a staggering 1.2 million barrels of diluted bitumen a day, more than enough to replace the defeated Keystone XL project. A northward-flowing line, also operated by Enbridge, pumps diluent from the massive BP refinery on the southeast edge of Chicago to buyers in the faraway Tar Sands region. From the south, three major pipe- lines connect Texas oil wells to Chicago area refineries by way of the giant storage hubs of Patoka, Illinois, and Cushing, Oklahoma. Two more Enbridge lines flow in the opposite direction, bringing the deluge of Tar Sands oil within reach of thirsty Gulf Coast markets. Out west, the pipeline story con- tinues along the rails, in the form of hundred-car-long tanker trains filled to bursting with explosive Bakken crude. Some forty of these rolling pipe- lines—also known as “bomb trains”—cross the densely populated Chicago metro area every week, so far without any catastrophic incident (the closest explosion yet was in Galena, some 150 miles away).
