Here’s What Happened When These Unarmed Native American Sisters Defended Their Land from the Feds

Like the Bundys, the Dann sisters tried a standoff with the BLM. But it ended very differently.

The double standard in the media’s treatment of Ammon Bundy and his gang at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is shameful, but the case of the Dann sisters underlines even further the disparity in how non-white activists are treated.

Carrie and Mary Dann, two elderly Shoshone women who have defied seizure of their land, have been repeatedly roughed up and harassed by federal officials and mobs of white ranchers for refusing to cede their claim to land that was illegally stolen from them 30 years ago.

7. Tks for putting up direct link! Link is in article but you

made it really easy for no one to miss!!

I wish the "feds" would put up projection screens all around perimeter of that bunch of yahoos in Oregon and play this 24/7 till they throw down their guns, throw up their hands and surrender!!

14. Ha! I doubt that federal officials would want any widespread viewing...

of that video...they'd be risking exposure to the truth, if they did.

Double standards for the sake of empire should never be accepted by anyone who stands for justice in this world.

18. Oh yeah, right. I don't know what I was thinking/wishing for!

A little sanity... justice..... empathy....... compassion.....
Right, never mind,...........

13. Because the Indians have no voice in the media. They don't have thousands of filthy radio stations.

9. Imagine if Bundy were "roughed up by mobs of {native} ranchers" . . . nt

[Amimnoch]

11. And that's only one of the MANY stories out there like this.

such awful disparity... bunch of hicks with guns.. treat them well (make sure they get their fucking treats). Peaceful, unarmed native women just trying to make the US adhere to it's own damn treaties.. send in the forces.

12. This country is exceptional. Exceptionally bad.

17. This should be required viewing for everyone calling themselves progressive.

What happened here was nothing more than a land grab for private interests, I wonder what politicians had their mother fucking hand out and got paid on this one. Stop the corruption, stop the unchecked capitalism, vote for BERNIE SANDERS!

19. This is a rebuttal to posts stating Federal agents

have no bias toward non-whites.


Thank you, Shred.
