Native Meth Reaper Helps Spread the 'Not Even Once' Message in Phillips County

As you are driving the famous Highway 2 on Montana's Hi-Line heading towards your westerly destination, off to the left in the small town of Dodson you will see artist Brad Shields' submission to the 2023 Paint the State-Montana Meth Project contest, Native Meth Reaper.

Shields stated, "This was an honor and privilege to put out the vision of how meth has become another tool to destroy our people, culture, and traditions. The image was inspired by my nieces Bookakii and Bridgette."

His message is painted on the old Hi-Way Bar building, which Shields said, "It was a tough canvas, but the message is real."

Shields is appreciative of those who helped him accomplish his vision, Ron and Jaret Kienenberger, his brother, Mike Shields, and Eddie Fetter for the use of the scaffolding.
