Drug and Gang Summit 2012 Poster
The sixth annual Red Lake Drug and Gang Summit is slated for Wednesday and Thursday February 15 - 16, 2012 at Red Lake Seven Clans Casino Event Center.
Workshops and presentations will go on from 9 AM to 4:30 PM on both days. The 2012 theme is entitled “Keeping Traditions, Stopping Addictions."
The mission of the Red Lake Drug and Gang Summit is to educate and mobilize tribal agencies, professionals, schools and community members in a variety of efforts opposed to illegal drugs on the Red Lake Reservation. The goal of the summit is to produce committees that will advise communities on how to effectively address issues of crime, drugs and violence while working closely with district representatives and the Red Lake Tribal Council.
The impetus for the event began at a special Tribal Council meeting in September 2006. At that time it was announced that the Tribal Chairman was calling for a summit on Methamphetamine/crack cocaine to be held. The Indian & Free Drug Program, Project Safe Neighborhoods and the Red Lake Nation Coalition (White Bison) now the Seven Clans Wellbriety Coalition was instructed to head the summit.
