They are protesting the desecration of their sacred lands by these gunmen: “Don’t tell me any of these ranchers came across the Bering Strait,” the tribal chairwoman, Charlotte Rodrique, said [URL='http://www.ktvb.com/story/news/2016/01/06/paiute-tribe-oregon-takeover/78363458/']at a news conference [/URL]Wednesday. “We were here first,” she added. “We’d like the public to acknowledge that.” [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/07/tribe-to-protesters-occupying-oregon-wildlife-refuge-we-were-here-first-get-the-hell-out/[/URL] "Although the wildlife refuge is not part of the Burns Paiute reservation, tribe members consider it sacred ancestral land. The Paiute are guaranteed access to the refuge for activities important to their heritage — hunting, fishing, gathering reeds for basket weaving and precious seeds. The tribe is also working with the Bureau of Land Management to preserve its archaeological sites." [/QUOTE]
