Blackfeet tackle illegal dump site
Some of Ray Wilson’s earliest childhood memories of visiting his grandmother are driving past mounds of trash on her land outside the town of Blackfoot.
Trees and ravines along the dirt road made the 1.5-mile stretch an ideal spot for illegal dumping.
Tired of seeing the trash, a team of Blackfeet tribal, county and city workers, along with student volunteers, removed about 200 tons of garbage from the site as part of a renewed effort to clean up and prevent illegal dumpsites on the reservation.
