"Geographer John Wright once wrote that land tenure in the American West is a Darwinian struggle, meaning that 'places are best seen as shifting stages where the exercise of power and resistance to it vie for dominance. The matter of land tenure will always form the spatial musculature of this fractious region.' Land tenure conflicts take on a distinctive character in the West precisely because they often focus on public lands, and have coalesced periodically into collective challenges, or rebellions, against federal authority."
