Facts are coming forth about how and why members of the Seminole Indian tribe seized Duncan Doughnuts shops in the city of Redjacket, Oklahoma.  The capture of seven local franchises from the largest seller of coffee and donuts in the US is now in day three.

The Indian effort was well planned. War parties of six took over each store around midnight. The method was the same at each.

Confusion turned to horror as patrons and employees watched Indians on horseback gallop and whoop around the store firing arrows against the glass store front.

The Redmen, wearing war paint, loincloths and animal skin boots, disappeared after about ten minutes. Moments later, the Indians ran towards the front of the store with flaming torches. They continued around back. Fearing they would be burned alive, the people inside bolted and ran screaming into the night. Some sustained minor injuries falling down and bumping into things.

In last two days, the young renegades have taken down the Duncan Doughnut signage and put up their own “The Sacred Earth Health Stop”. Tribal sources indicate the new store will sell traditional Indian remedies. Each store will also have a medicine man available for consultation and evil spirit removal.

The franchise takeover is the result of a schism with the tribe, Indian sources say. The owners of Golden Buffalo Casino just outside Redjacket could not agree whether to expand their gambling establishment or diversify into other enterprises. The spilt was young versus old.

Surprisingly, younger members took matters into their own hands and captured the stores. Later the tribal elders decided to handle the dispute within and support the young bucks’ action.

City officials have yet to respond. Insiders say that the city will not challenge the Seminoles because of the legal and financial problems which would result from the conflict.

At the end Florida’s Second Seminole War in 1842, the Seminoles signed no treaty with the US government and then migrated to Oklahoma. Land rights were never resolved.

Secondly, half of Redjacket’s revenue comes from the Golden Buffalo. The Indians would withhold payment. The dispute would require the shut down of schools and other services

With the number of casinos across the country and recent events in Wewoka, the Indians’ sale of Manhattan for $24 back was a good move. Today, wampum power trumps firepower.
