Abdnor describes the violence and destruction of property that has occurred in the area, and emphasizes the need for federal authorities to take action to end the anarchy at Wounded Knee. He believes that the majority of the occupiers are outsiders and not representative of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and criticizes the media for portraying a romanticized version of the situation.

![["The Pit River Indians historically occupied a large area of land in California, which was taken by the Federal Government without compensation. In 1938, funds were appropriated for the purchase of a reservation for the Pit River Indians, leading to the establishment of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation. However, there is a dispute over who should benefit from the reservation, with a small group known as the Pit River Home and Agricultural Cooperative Association monopolizing the land. This group has excluded other Pit River Indians from the reservation, leading to bitterness and resentment among the community. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has shown favoritism towards the Association, further exacerbating the dispute. There are also concerns about the lack of communication and resources provided to the broader Pit River Tribe. Overall, there is a complex and ongoing dispute over the ownership and management of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Dispute over XL Ranch Indian Reservation: Historical Injustices and Current Controversies")
