Description
On the Lummi Indian reservation, a staggering 80% of the ER visits are from drug overdoses -- mostly fentanyl -- killing people and perpetuating generational trauma.
Pleas for help are posted all over the reservation, begging people to stay away from drugs or seek treatment.
One reads, "Dear Lord, age 12. I have a fentanyl habit. I feel so alone. It's hard to breathe. I feel I might die. Save me, please."
The Lummi, and so many other tribes, are fighting a daunting battle against the incredibly toxic drug fentanyl and other opioids.
