Several hundred people participated in an anti-methamphetamine march and rally organized by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana.
Tribal members said meth is destroying their community. They said the rally was one step in their fight against the drug.
President Eugene Little Coyote said he will ask the tribe to join a task force of local and federal law enforcement in hopes of cracking down on drug use and drug trafficking on the reservation.
