Prior Lake, MN- The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community announces $80,300 in donations to support drug abuse prevention efforts by seven different organizations. A matching donation of $50,000 went to First Nations Recovery of Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Had it not been for the benevolence of the Shakopee Mdewakanton, First Nations Recovery would not have been able to get off the launching pad. The SMSC vested in the vision to help bring sobriety to our community," said ex-officio community developer Gordon Thayer and founder of the American Indian Community Development Corporation.
