A Florida federal judge granted the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s request to intervene in a proposed class action against gaming vendor Seminole Hard Rock Digital.

The tribe seeks to dismiss the case, arguing it cannot be sued due to its legal status. The case remains ongoing.
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.
