Story
The Seminole Tribune is the official newspaper of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. It comes out once a month and reaches readers on the Tribe's reservations, across Indian Country and throughout the United States.
A paper with three names
- 1956: Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, who later became the Tribe's first woman chairperson, and Alice Osceola start the Seminole News. The project lasted only a few months.
- 1979: at the request of Chairman James Billie, the Tribe launches the Alligator Times, with Moses Jumper Jr. as editor.
- 1982: the paper takes its current name, The Seminole Tribune, and Tiger Jumper becomes its editor.
Recognition
In 1989 the Tribune became the first Native American newspaper to receive a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. The same year, the University of Florida nominated it for a Pulitzer Prize.
Today the paper covers tribal government, community life, education, sports, arts and Seminole gaming and business. Its online archive, including digitized back issues, is available at seminoletribune.org.
