Gangs who are dealing drugs and luring Native youth into crime are being tracked by Wisconsin law enforcement who are planning to arrest the dealers of death.
Wisconsin's eight tribal police departments are cooperating with state and federal lawn enforcement agencies to build cases against the gangs.
''We have cases going through the task force and we are taking a stand here and will be working on executing a lot of warrants and doing undercover work," said Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin Police Chief Mark Waukau in an article in the Indian Country today newspaper.
Gang expert Niso Frank Caywood says tribes need to reach out to their at-risk youth and teach tribal culture to students.
