Northern Cheyenne Tribe declares war on meth



A community coalition established by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana is battling methamphetamine.

The War on Meth coalition has produced bumper stickers aimed at sending out a strong message against the drug. The "Don't Meth With Me" and "Banish Meth" slogans have proved to be popular on the reservation.

The coalition is hosting a rally and march on May 12 against meth and plans other activities to keep tribal members away from what has been a crisis in Indian Country.
