Reservations are facing a new threat from a cheap and easy to make drug, Sioux activist Jean Mahomni Mani says.
Mani says methamphetamine has invaded the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. So she has started to work with a statewide coalition to make people aware of the dangerous drug.
Last year, 38 meth labs were found in the state. Neighboring North Dakota had 235 last year while Iowa had 1,240.
