Fort Peck Tribes TOR III - Project Name: TOR22 Project Number To Be Served Annually: 30 Spotted Bull Recovery Resource Center is applying for funding to operate a TOR project that includes a Peer Support Specialist to coordinate Wellbriety sessions and conduct cultural activities for TOR clients and families. Population: The Fort Peck Indian Reservation (FPIR), home of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes (hereinafter FPT), encompassing approximately 2.1 million acres of land, is located in the northeastern part of the State of Montana.
