so the bunny ranch is been talked about a lot
recently including by us and the we have this climb in bunny character uses no my
ancestors
had been grazing on this land for birds federal and it's not his land
prayed but he says is the federal government allowed us to graze on it
before
and when they switch their position and said that we have to
pay grazing fees a sixteen thousand other farmers to well those
fundamentally unfair
the federal government a beer when management took some other cattle
his cattle and there we use at the SS the feet
and that's one right-wing militia showed up with weaponry
and a beer Land Management was intimidated and
gave us cattle back now it turns out that
the Pure Land Management has actually done this to play people before
including people whose ancestors were
clearly on that land before the federal government and I would be the show shown
indians
that was their land before in fact is a treaty with the federal government
explaining that it was their land and that the federal government
took it in fact they are owed money for I
and there was two sisters carrie Ann married and
who used to use that same land now here's where the story is really
interesting
in 1979 the Indian Claims Commission or the show shown
26 million dollars in compensation for the lawn lost to quote
settler encroachment while the federal government look the other way
now if climb money talks about his ancestors having a right that lange
it is clear by agreement on the federal government
the show shown how to land right that lamp be four
the SS was acquired from bundy encroached upon that when
that's in the actual writing ok what this government has decided
in the past okay now here comes the amazing part
the show shown refuse the money
because the government at the time was going to use the land for nuclear
weapons testing
and they said this is our ancestral land even if we don't get a dime for
no we do not want to officially sell it to you we do not want that twenty six
million dollars
because we don't think you should do nuclear testing on this land isn't that
amazing
so not after that the sisters that I talk to you about carrie Ann married and
I'll who had also been grazing on that land
also agreed that hey you know what there's no reason why
our ancestral land should be there federal governments and we should pay
this fee so
action is very similar climbing bunny an obvious who the slightly better argument
given that there's treaty saying
but in fact it was their land in with encroached upon and the government owes
them money for that
but that they owe the government initially but the government owes them
now they didn't take that money but they didn't want to graze on the lawn guy
that seem so fair right
so then of course when the militia showed up wait a minute
malicious didn't show up to defend them that's weird
and so what happened well in 1992
again in 2002 armed Bureau of Land Management
posses rounded up the dances risk at all and sold them for grazing fees
huh funny when it's not right wingers and it's just eight Americans who had a
great claim to that land legal claim to that land
their cattle in their horses get rounded up and sold
and no one ever sheds a tear now who's talking about what happened back then in
ninety-two in 2002
who's talking about the rights all those dan sisters
name it's funny how this government works now
carried and said hey listen we're still gonna fight because right is right
and wrong is wrong well I'm not sure that's really true
I I hope it's true I wish it's true
it hasn't been true so far especially in regards that where
by the way once the federal government to control that land initially
from the show shown we look at that
they found gold on the land and wound up by the way doing great damage the land
in excavating that gold
another wonderful coincidence the show should get that money to their sisters
get that money no
their cattle and their horses were sold off and
may never got compensated for meanwhile Clive money still has his cattle
because he showed up with weapons that is a very bad precedent
and if anybody had a right to show up with weapons to get their land back
it would be the church in but my guess is he wouldn't go the same way for them
