The Malheur Occupation and the Problem with History.
- Authors
ROBBINS, WILLIAM G.
- Abstract
The article talks about the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Oregon by a self-styled group of armed patriots in January 2016, who demanded citizens of Harney County should be given ownership of the land. Topics discussed include the history of the movement to privatize public grazing lands in the American West, and challenges faced by cattle ranchers that include increased operating costs, climate change and drought.
