tilano montoya and kenzie crawford, both members of the northern arapaho tribe, sold meth on the wind river reservation in wyoming. as part of their convictions for dealing drugs, they were required to speak to students about their involvement in one of the largest drug busts in the state.

"we sold to our own people. all we cared about was money, our drug. now look at us," crawford said, the billings gazette reported. "we infected all of you, our community, our reservation, and we're going to get punished," said montoya.
