Prairie Band Sues Over Lottery on Reservation | Topeka News

The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation is suing the Kansas Lottery, demanding they stop selling lottery tickets on tribal land — a move they say violates federal law and their sovereign rights. Claiming exclusive control over gaming on their 900-square-mile reservation, established by treaty in 1846, the Nation argues the state has no authority to operate there without permission. They’re not seeking money — just a court ruling affirming their land as “Indian Land” and an end to the lottery’s operations on it. Tribal leaders stress this is about honoring centuries-old treaties and protecting tribal autonomy. The Kansas Lottery hasn’t commented, but the legal battle is heating up as the Nation stands firm on defending their sovereignty.
