January 15, 2025

Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming have announced enhanced measures to fight human trafficking, including specialized training for employees to identify and respond to trafficking indicators. The initiative aligns with National Human Trafficking Prevention Month and underscores their commitment to protecting vulnerable populations, including Native communities. According to company officials, these efforts aim to foster safer environments across their properties.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
