The newly elected chief and council of the Siksika First Nation are considering a plan to evict drug traffickers from the community.
Councillor Reuben “Buck” Breaker is leading the Siksika Crime Prevention Team.
“They’re ruining the lives of several nation members.”
In an effort to be proactive, council leaders are drafting bylaws to allow them to banish drug dealers. They won’t be allowed back into the reserve until they can prove they’ve earned the privilege to return.
Longtime Siksika member Farren Wolf Leg is a recovering addict who supports the initiative. Three of his own children are currently entrenched in drug abuse.
Gleichen RCMP say the proposal could make a difference in the region.
The Siksika leadership will be conducting a survey of the area’s 3500 residents to allow them input into the final decision.
