American outrage
American Outrage
Carrie and Mary Dann, live in Nevada on Western Shoshone land, a multimillion-acre stretch of land that is being was being shared with the Dann sisters and the the United States and the Shoshone nation under the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. The Dann sisters have always lived there. The disgusting conflict started with the United States government came when the U.S. Bureau of Land Management tried to fine them for allowing their animals to graze on private property. The land possibly owned by the government according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, but Shoshone land, according to the Dann sisters.
Having their livestock rounded up repeatedly and then being prosecuted against by the Federal Government, the Dann sisters began a legal battle in 1974 that continues to this day, attempting to assert their right of use to the land. The duo has taken the issue to the local government, the state, the U.S. Supreme Court and even the United Nations. What I ask is why has the United States government spent millions of dollars in taxpayer money prosecute and pursue two elderly grandmothers in the middle of a Nevada desert? What I think is both the Shoshone tribe and the government should just agree to disagree because it feels that no matter how far they gain on each other they both act like they want the other to just to disappear. The way the Shoshone want the government to act is them to completely disappear is a bit farfetched but the government just wants to take away without compensation or just us complete dominance over people
