More than 300 people from the Crow Reservation in Montana participated in a rally on National Meth Awareness Day.
The rally started at MetraPark in Billings. About 100 cars, decorated with anti-meth messages like "Meth is death" and "Counting coup against meth," drove to the reservation for speeches and presentations.
The tribe's anti-meth task force organized the rally. Chairman Chairman Carl Venne, whose son died in a meth-related road accident, is an advisory member to the Montana Meth Project.
