The small group angry about federal land use policy took over the buildings at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge more than three weeks ago.
Thousands of ancient Native American artifacts and maps to where more antiquities can be found are kept inside the building. Recent videos posted to social media show members of the group going through some of the antiquities and criticizing the way the government stored the items.
Tribal
chairwoman Charlotte Roderique said the government should secure the
refuge and stop allowing members of the group free passage to and from
the site. She said the tribe fears some of the artifacts will go
missing.

If you have ever associated with any member of a Native American Tribe here in the U.S. you might know that some of their Tribal Artifacts they take very seriously. So, if there are really important artifacts being stored at this Oregon Wildlife refuge there could be problems with members of the tribe that take these artifacts very seriously depending upon what is actually there. If pieces important to the history or historical religion of the Burns Paiute Tribe are damaged or stolen there could be more trouble than I thought before in store for this situation.
So, now I realize it isn't just the Federal, State, County and City police that might be conflicting with the squatters on Government or State land or both, it is also the potential mistreatment of Native American artifacts of the Burns Paiute Tribe stored there.
