August 26, 2021 – Mills describes the project as “Blackfoot helping Blackfoot.” The camps will be led by Blackfoot people and include traditional healing and ceremony.
He hopes to have activities such as horseback riding and hiking, to have elders come in for ceremonies, and to have sweat lodges once a week. Recruited to help are Melissa Many Fingers and Cody Fox. Both are former addicts who spend their days in Galt Gardens handing out food, water and Naloxone to those struggling. “I’m seeing a lot of people struggling with addiction and alcohol,” said Many Fingers. “Mostly the opioid crisis has just gotten worse every day with the drugs.”
She’s been working in Galt Gardens since March. Since then, Many Fingers notes there’s been a dramatic increase in overdoses.
