    Bundy claims the gov't stole their range...actually, the ranchers stole the land from the Paiute people

    I don't believe it was part of the US when it happened

    I looked it up...and the Paiute wars started in 1840
    Oregon became a state in 1859
    They were settlers, not soldiers

    I'm pretty sure all the land that was theirs is now the government's. Reservations.

    From your link, even.

    The government first established the Malheur Reservation for the Northern Paiute in eastern Oregon. The federal government's intention was to concentrate the Northern Paiute there, but its strategy did not work. Because of the distance of the reservation from the traditional areas of most of the bands, and because of its poor environmental conditions, many Northern Paiute refused to go there. Those that did, soon left. They clung to their traditional lifestyle as long as possible; when environmental degradation made that impossible, they sought jobs on white farms, ranches or in cities. They established small Indian colonies, where they were joined by many Shoshone and, in the Reno area, Washoe people.

    Later, the government created larger reservations at Pyramid Lake and Duck Valley,Nevada. By that time the pattern of small de facto reservations near cities or farm districts, often with mixed Northern Paiute and Shoshone populations, had been established. Starting in the early 20th century, the federal government began granting land to these colonies. Under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, several individual colonies gained federal recognition as independent tribes.

    1934 is way down the road from 1840 when settlers made land grabs in the area though. The Sioux filed their first legal protest in DC 30 years after the Paiute wars...reservations came after statehood..check out the history of Deadwood in the Dakota territories before it was annexed..wild west, miners, ranchers, etc.
    Many of them weren't even US citizens. Marshal Law was the law in the territories long before the US started placing troops throughout the west

    Why does it matter when the government took their land?

    Because initially, the gov't didn't. Doesn't make it right in 1934 but settlers first took their lands and chased them off areas they wanted. As I said, many were Europeans without citizenship...the army didn't come in until much later...they were more or less like pirates....sorry barfo
