Still Smoking, Dorothy; Bull Shoe, Debbie Whitegrass
Journal of Adult Education, v41 n1 p41-48 2012
The Pikanii Action Team project addressed the issues of teenage drinking and drunk driving on the Blackfeet Reservation. Basing their actions on locally-generated research, the Pikanii Action Team conducted a series of activities and initiatives to promote public awareness and action related to high-risk activities related to drinking. The team's actions resulted in the passage of resolutions on the reservation related to driving safety and to mandatory training for alcohol servers. The Pikanii Action Team was recognized for its efforts by being awarded the Community Leadership Award by the FBI.
