Drug Problem on Keewaywin First Nation

A chief in a Northern Ontario First Nation is asking for help in dealing with a rampant drug problem on the reserve.
Joe Meekis of the Keewaywin First Nation says almost half the adults in the community of 400 near the Manitoba border are abusing prescription narcotics such as OxyContin and Percocet.
Meekis says children are going hungry because their parents are spending grocery money on pills.
Meekis has asked social services agencies and other First Nations to help the community cope.
