PRC- Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council
 
 
 
The Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council (RMTLC) is dedicated to improving health, economic development and education for Tribes and their members through a variety of programs, policy recommendations, and Tribal Leader meetings. The VISTA member will serve as a key collaborator in making strides toward accessible programming to a population often criminalized and underserved. The result will be better health and life outcomes for mothers facing addiction and the children born into at-risk environments, as well as a bolstered community partnership of service providers. As a whole, through this project, the Blackfeet Nation and the Browning community will reap the rewards of empowering these mothers to rise above poverty and addiction and solidify this tradition for future generations.
