Tribal Leaders Visit Malheur Refuge Site
by Amanda Peacher OPB | March 2, 2016
.... Burns Paiute tribal leaders were allowed in Monday to survey the damage from the 41-day occupation. The visit was the first time tribal leaders were on site of the armed occupation since the final militants surrendered.
Jarvis Kennedy is a Burns Paiute Tribal Council member. He and the other leaders saw three trenches dug by the occupiers, as well as a newly built road.
They disposed of their garbage in there, said Jarvis. It looked like they used a backhoe to dig a hole and they threw their garbage in. .....
Man, what can you do? Its already done and dug, said Jarvis, about the trenches. Now we just have to figure out whats inside that soil. See if there are any artifacts remaining.
Historically, the refuge was a vital wintering ground for the tribe. Much of the area is now a protected archaeological site. .........

Apparently, the tribe has been working with the FBI after the occupation. No reports yet

I do feel sorry for David Fry. Clearly a lost soul who was exploited by the Bundys.

This is fantastic. Throw them in a SuperMax for life. Make an example out of them.
