The Rosebud Sioux Tribe will host a summit tomorrow and Wednesday in Mission to try to draw attention
and resources to the high number of suicides. 

The Indian Health Service says six people from the reservation have taken their lives this year and more than 200 have talked about it, made plans to do it or tried. 

The IHS says the Aberdeen region that includes North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska is second to Alaska in number of American Indian suicides, but Rosebud has the highest rate. 

Tillie Black Bear of the Rosebud suicide task force says though it's still a problem, the situation isn't as hopeless as it was a year ago because people are talking about it. 

She says one thing she'd like to come out of the summit is one program to consolidate the effort.
