Native Bidaské: Alligator Alcatraz — The Fight to Protect the Everglades

Native News Online | October 22, 2025



When the U.S. government built a massive migrant detention center in the heart of the Florida Everglades—land sacred to the Miccosukee and Seminole peoples—Betty Osceola stood up. What she’s fighting for is more than environmental justice. It’s about sovereignty, survival, and protecting the stories of her ancestors.

Join Native Bidaské for a powerful conversation with Osceola, a Panther Clan member and Everglades prayer walk leader, as she explains why this fight impacts all of us.
This isn’t just about one project—it’s about what happens when sacred land is treated like disposable real estate.

    Native American Graves Protection Act ! The Everglades are a sacred burial site. Within one mile of rez you qualify for an injunction until all of the cultural issues including birth ceremonies, and burial ceremonies, moon ceremonies, etc are addressed. This is a form of GENOCIDE. It's called cultural genocide. Further, the cameras must be facing the facility, not outward towards the sacred people, who may have never taken a photograph because it captures their soul. So these sensitive issues must be addressed..

    I hope Native Americans their in Florida can do something about this & what are they doing with all that HUMAN WASTE WATERS ? I asked because the land can't perk all that HUMAN WASTE WATERS & it looks like the property getting bigger i could be wrong but they can't make a larger area.
