"In April of 2014, Cliven Bundy’s story broke on the national news. For those unfamiliar with the Nevada rancher’s name, he is the patriarch of the Bundy family that featured prominently in the armed resistance against federal officials at Bunkerville, Nevada, in 2014, and in the armed occupation of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Federal law enforcement brought charges after these incidents against Bundy and several other members of his family, and they were tried in federal court where an Oregon jury acquitted them and a Nevada federal judge ruled a mistrial. Bundy and his family embody, though to a much greater degree than the norm, ongoing tensions between traditional users of public lands, such as ranchers, and federal land managers tasked with their care."
