VOICED : At Pine Ridge tribe

The Oglala Sioux tribe is fighting a severe alcoholism crisis on the Pine Ridge Reservation by suing major beer companies and liquor sellers in Whiteclay, Nebraska. The lawsuit seeks $500 million in damages, aiming to curb alcohol supply and use the funds for treatment and economic development. Alcoholism affects 85% of families, with high rates of fetal alcohol syndrome and alcohol-related incarcerations. The tribe hopes legal victory will break the cycle of poverty and addiction.
