Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to banish meth dealers

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe voted Tuesday to banish and exclude any individual 18 or older caught selling methamphetamine, heroin and other drugs on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

"This action did not come overnight but was the result of months of deliberation and reports from local tribal members of the horrors that are committed against Standing Rock citizens while people are under the influence of the above-mentioned dangerous narcotics," according to a tribal statement published Wednesday.
