The Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe is holding a community forum today to address the growing use of methamphetamine on the reservation.

"Meth has become a problem within the tribe," tribal council member Rochanne Downs told The Lahontan Valley News.

The forum will bring together tribal, state and federal officials. They will discuss how to identify symptoms of meth use and ways to combat its use, especially among the youth.

Other tribes across the nation say meth is becoming a big problem on their lands.
