New York State Takes On Fight Against Shinnecock Indian Nation’s Electronic Billboards

Some drivers are aghast at the giant ads now lighting up the gateway to the Hamptons: A 60-foot high, two-sided electronic billboard that flashes advertisements 24/7. CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reports.

I’m gonna quote Bill Rambo and say how dare they tell those people how they can honor their ancestors.

Yo, New York "special Hamptonites" guess who was there first and was most disrespected? Self-centeredness really doesn't go well with the atmosphere the Shinnecocks are trying to preserve as they see the monstrosities you build, then you whine over, when storms come and cause damage to what really didn't belong there.

The Rich💰People are getting mad because they didn't think of it first!...

True. Too True.

Sounds like they are asking for very little in order to bring in important revenue for the nation. Leave the billboard alone. It's quite modest, compared to most billboards: the visual footprint is much smaller!

[@Traderjoe]

Let them do whatever they want! If they make money off the ads on the billboard, more power to them! If there’s any community that needs an influx of cash, it’s them! If they need a donation to make it bigger, where can I send some money to?

I don’t see a problem with it at all. It’s Not next to any residential homes

[@persephone2706]

Hypocrisy. Just pure hypocrisy. Lmao yeah, that billboard really ruined so much of the nature in that one spot. What are these people even saying? 🤣

[@JamalSG]

What a minute: does NYC and suburbs have electronic billboards all over, eyesore overload I'm guessing? I hope the tribe wins it all.

They got cell phone towers but talking about nature 😂😂😂

I just want to say that it was a good idea that the Shinnecock tribe to build that, yes I support the Shinnecock tribe cuz I have friends from the res, and this tribe should have the rights to do anything on this land cuz they were here than a thousand years, I feel there pain cuz I’m also an ingenious person my ancestors were the Mayans so I feel there pain, and this tribe are the real Americans and illegal ones here, KEEP FIGHTING MY BROTHERS you guys will achieve what you want in this land 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@functionatthejunction]

Its their land. There should be no legal recourse in what they choose to do with it in this matter.

It’s on their land? Leave it alone! It’s not to your taste? Well, maybe signs on other people’s land isn’t to the Shinnecock’s taste! Do I like it personally? No, but that’s irrelevant! If it’s bringing in money or improving the lives of the land owners and not doing any harm to others, they have a right to keep.

[@functionatthejunction]

Its on tribal land. The Hamptons can shove right off. They have zero say in this matter.
