Leaders of the Northern Arapaho Tribe are holding a press conference in Washington, D.C., today to discuss the "crisis" affecting youth on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.

Anthony Addison Sr. and Harvey Spoonhunter of the tribal business council will speak at the National Press Club at 9:30am. Ryan Wilson, the director of the Northern Arapaho Council of Elders, is also slated to speak.

The tribe recently lost three young girls. The cause of their deaths has not been released but elders blame alcohol and drugs.

The Wind River Reservation is home Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe.
