2 years after the standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, many people in the region remain convinced that their way of life is being trampled. While on assignment for @nytmag, Jennifer Percy — who spent most of her childhood in this region of eastern #Oregon — returned to the area. "I didn’t understand what had happened since I left, why so many people seemed so disillusioned and angry," she writes. The takeover began as a protest in the town of Burns after 2 ranchers were sentenced to prison for arsons on federal land. The ranchers caught the attention of the Nevada rancher Ammon Bundy, who paraded through Burns with a crowd of nearly 300 marchers. A splinter group eventually took over the Malheur headquarters. For 41 days, they refused to leave, protesting federal ownership of #publiclands, which they considered unlawful and abusive. In the 1970s, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act shifted the focus of the Bureau of Land Management from resource extraction to #conservation. That lead to the beginning of the Sagebrush Rebellion, efforts among ranchers, loggers and miners against environmental laws. Rural communities believed these new restrictions and regulations undermined their prosperity. "How do we get along with the people who are trying to take away everything precious to us?" asked Robin Olson, one of the people Jennifer met at a meeting in a small Oregon town called John Day. @pvanagtmael took these photos in the ranchlands of eastern Oregon.
