For Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson sits down with Betty Osceola, a Miccosukee Tribe member of the Panther Clan, airboat captain, and longtime Everglades protector, who organized interfaith vigils and kept watch outside “Alligator Alcatraz” after construction began in the Big Cypress National Preserve in June 2025. Florida declared the detention site closed in June 2026, but Betty says it is not over for her until all of the infrastructure comes out and the land is in the right hands. We talk about the Miccosukee Tribe’s federal lawsuit, the court fights that went all the way to the 11th Circuit, the sacred sites and wildlife at risk, the lawmakers who toured the facility, and what should happen to this land next.
