HARNEY COUNTY STANDOFF: DAY 13
Refuge rallies planned for Tuesday Tribe seeks protection
of cultural resources
Potluck slated
in /a Grande
East Oregonian
Concerned that armed
protesters have access to
sensitive cultural resources
at the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge, the Burns
Paiute Tribe is asking the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service for help.
Tribal
Chairwoman
Charlotte Rodrique sent
a letter Friday to Robyn
Thorson, regional director
for the USFWS in Portland,
asking for an inventory of
archaeological resources at
the refuge headquarters.
Rodrique also wants
anyone who disturbs those
resources to be prosecuted
under the Archaeological
Resources Protection Act.
“Armed protesters don’t
belong here,” Rodrique said.
By GEORGE PLAVEN
East Oregonian
Call it a protest of the
protest.
Environmental
groups
and public land advocates
will hold a series of loosely
coordinated rallies across the
state on Tuesday in support of
the Malheur National Wild-
life Refuge, which has been
occupied by militia members
protesting the federal govern-
ment since Jan. 2.
What started as an outcry
over the sentencing of two
Harney County ranchers
convicted of starting ¿res on
public lands has morphed into
a broader conversation about
the government’s role in land
management across the West.
Militants say they want the
feds to turn over the wildlife
refuge near Burns to local
control so it can be opened up
to more ranching.
Arran
Robertson,
spokesman for Oregon Wild,
defended public lands as a
safe haven for wildlife habitat,
clean waters and recreation.
One thing lost in the narrative,
he said, is how local stake-
holders have collaborated on
management solutions that
balance competing interests.
Tuesday’s rallies are
meant to shine a light on
collaboration, while steering
the conversation away from
radical
viewpoints
that
Robertson said have domi-
nated the headlines. The Hells
Canyon Preservation Council
will host a pro-public lands
potluck at their of¿ces in /a
Grande.
“There’s a lot of positive
things that come out of
our national public lands,”
Robertson said. “There’s
actually a lot of coming
together and trying to work
out differences in the same
room.”
Robertson pointed to
“They continue to desecrate
one of our most important
sacred sites. They should be
held accountable.”
The Burns Paiute Tribal
Council passed a resolution
earlier this week designating
the refuge as a “Traditional
Cultural Property” under the
National Historic Preserva-
tion Act, which was hailed
as the ¿rst step toward
greater protection of their
cultural resources.
The Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge is located
in the heart of the tribe’s
ancestral territory, Rodrique
said.
“The refuge and the
refuge
buildings
hold
invaluable, irreplaceable,
and endangered aspects of
the tribe’s cultural heritage,”
she said.

The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns is seen from atop an old ire

Oregon Wild’s participation
in the Blue Mountains Forest
Partners, focusing on the
Malheur National Forest in
Grant and Harney counties. In
particular, he said they joined
with industry leaders to save
the Malheur /umber Co. mill
in John Day after it closed in
2012.
“I think (the occupation
has) set us back,” he said.
“It’s driving a wedge between
people trying to come
together.”
Mark Webb, executive
director of the Blue Moun-
tains Forest Partners, said it
wasn’t easy getting to this
point. He remembers after
the group ¿rst came together
in 2006, they had trouble
even agreeing on small-scale
projects. It took them three
years to agree on a 7,000-acre
treatment, he said.
Now, because of the
group’s working relationship,
the Malheur National Forest
has received an additional
$2.5 million annually to
accelerate the pace of resto-
ration. Webb said the group

is collaborating on projects up
to 40,000 acres every year.
“We’re getting a lot more
acres treated a lot quicker,” he
said. “It just would not happen
without this collaborative
effort.”
Certainly members don’t
agree on everything, Webb
said. But their success is due
in part to people’s willingness
to have a mature conversation.
“It’s not that we don’t have
our own interests, but this
group is effective because it’s
gotten past the ‘my way or
the highway’ attitude,” Webb
said.
Speaking for himself,
Webb described the occupa-
tion as a “holdover from an
age that simply won’t work
nowadays.” Of¿cially, Blue
Mountains Forest Partners
has no stance on the protest.
Darilyn Parry Brown,
executive director of the Hells
Canyon Preservation Council
in /a Grande, said public
lands are a treasure trove of
values, and should be kept in
public hands.
The potluck will begin
at noon on Tuesday. Other
rallies will be held in Port-
land, Bend, Eugene, Medford,
Hood River and Corvallis.
“There’s been quite a bit
of negativity based on what’s
been going on in the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge,”
Brown said. “This is our
opportunity to let local folks
know there’s a place to come
and have positive conversa-
tions.”

Man arrested in stolen refuge vehicle
BURNS — Oregon State Police arrested a man Friday
they said was driving a government vehicle stolen from a
wildlife refuge being occupied by an armed group protesting
federal land policies.
Kenneth Medenbach, 62, of Crescent was arrested at a
grocery store in Burns for investigation of unauthorized use
of a motor vehicle, authorities said.
According to federal court records Medenbach is already
facing charges in U.S. District Court in Medford after
authorities said he illegally camped on federal land between
May and November last year.
