Is was February 2021 when Insider first reported that the Shinnecock Indian Nation had publicly refused a state order to cease construction of a second digital billboard on Sunrise Highway on Long Island despite a threat of fines and forceful removal of the tribal structures, arguing the state “lacks authority over nation lands.”

In an Insider’s take we stated that those of us who have worked with Native American Councils on their sovereign land know that the state is going to lose this battle.  The state has already lost once in court and that trend should continue as they try to move forward with getting the signs taken down.

The battle has been ongoing and we picked up this news feed that brings you up to date on the latest events.
