South Dakota’s Grand Gateway Hotel, previously under DOJ scrutiny for discriminatory actions, is facing fresh accusations of anti-Indigenous practices.
A lawsuit filed by the White family claims their reservation was canceled due to racial discrimination, with owner Nick Uhre allegedly involved.
The suit accuses the hotel of creating a hostile environment for Native Americans, citing a pattern of discrimination.
This comes a year after the DOJ settlement demanded owner Connie Uhre’s removal for past discriminatory conduct.
Expedia Group has suspended the hotel pending investigation, and the White family seeks a jury trial and financial relief.
