Bundy Lied About "Ancestral Rights" To Gov't Land (Original Post)

OP
Loudly
(2,436 posts)1. I'm a little fuzzy about the whole "ancestral rights" thing
inasmuch as we have Amerind and European conquistador land claims which date back a lot further than the Bundy family's presence in this geographical vicinity.
Let this be a fight about the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's congressional jurisdiction over what were generally ceded as barren lands.
No mining rights involved. Fighting over scrub yes?

Native Americans would like to claim ancestral rights too.
