Two years ago, on a February evening, Ellie Bundy attended a tribal working group in Arlee, Montana, on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Surrounded by local and tribal law enforcement, tribal members and families, Bundy listened as people told stories about loved ones or community members who had gone missing. “What if that were my daughter?” Bundy said. “We say that a lot, but really, what if it were my daughter? What if it were my sister? What if it were my cousins? It is a visual you just can t get out of your head.” The meeting was one of four hosted by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes to encourage discussion and come up with local community responses to the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous people.

GREAT FALLS â On Saturday, Alliance For Youth participated in two community events in Great Falls.
The Montana Highway Patrol, Alliance For Youth, and Living Above The Influence Montana hosted a Prescription Drug Take Back event from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. People with unused or outdated medication were able to drop them off at the MHP office in Great Falls. The goal is to get prescription drugs out of home medicine cabinets where the majority of abused prescription drugs are often taken by friends or family members.
