Tribal courts are now dominated by meth-related cases, but Fort Berthold still doesnt have any rehabilitation or treatment centers of its own. The meth up there is insane. The heroin up there is insane. They definitely need help, says one local law enforcement official...Thanks to the tribes 1936 constitution, MHA government budgets arent subject to the sorts of disclosure and auditing requirements that are standard among federal, state, county, or municipal bodies...Fewer than half of the tribes members own oil-rich land and earn royalties from leases negotiated with industry. (A smaller number of these landowners actually collect sizable amounts.) Most members ability to benefit from the boom basically hinges on how much their government is willing to do for them.
