<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi all,<br></div>I received my AOA meeting agenda and the news of the Bundy's acquittal on the same day. When the trial began, I was curious as to why there were no charges against Bundy et al. being brought under ARPA, since it seemed to me obvious that during the occupation they had bulldozed through a recorded archaeological site, and then used it as a latrine during the final days of the occupation. At the time, I trusted the wisdom of the federal DA's, who seemingly went after easy charges of impeding a federal employee. But that seems to have backfired, obviously.<br><br></div>Unfortunately, due to a prior commitment I won't be able to make the meeting in Salem next Friday, although Chelsea might make it. While I am no lawyer, I am curious to at least explore the idea of some kind of class action lawsuit under ARPA against Bundy et al, perhaps in conjunction with our nine Tribal partners. <br><br></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Couldn't this be on the agenda? Does the AOA have access to a lawyer? <br><br></div><div>best,<br></div><div>Mark Tveskov<br></div><div><br><br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Mark Tveskov, PhD<div>Professor of Anthropology</div><div>Southern Oregon University</div><div>1250 Siskiyou Blvd.</div><div>Ashland, Oregon</div><div>97520</div><div>(541) 552-6345<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SouthernOregonUniversityLaboratoryofAnthropology/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/SouthernOregonUniversityLaboratoryofAnthropology/</a><br><br><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B7O2LPg1AcVOVnlwUGRkMDdCQzQ&revid=0B7O2LPg1AcVOYXlIcmdhLzZLL3FDeSsyNTdzbC9tVWtTdjE4PQ" width="337" height="117"><br></div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
