Tribe launches meth campaign By JARED MILLER Tribune Regional Reporter
ROCKY BOY'S RESERVATION — Alarmed by "epidemic" methamphetamine addiction here, the Chippewa-Cree Business Committee last week adopted a get-tough plan to curtail the drug and treat those who become addicted.
Leading the charge is the newly created tribal meth advisory committee. The 12-member panel is tasked with curbing meth's spread across the reservation, using a combination of prevention, intervention, treatment and increased law enforcement.
The panel also is working to forge alliances with other area tribes and existing anti-meth groups.
