Interview with Jessica Campbell
As a takeover of a wildlife refuge by anti-federal government protestors continues in Eastern Oregon for the fifth straight day, members of a Native American nation have taken issue with the idea that the federal land should quote “be returned to its rightful owners”.
The Burns-Paiute Tribe said in a press conference this morning that if the white militia is serious about returning it to its rightful owners, they, the member of the Paiute nation, are ready to take it back.
Meanwhile, the entire Burns community is feeling besieged by the occupation and all the media attention.
KBOO’s Paul Roland spoke with Jessica Campbell, organizing director with the rural organizing project and is currently in Burns, about how the community is dealing with the situation.
