Looks like Bundy’s family bought the land in 1954. rawstory.com

From your link:

Some of the militia members who have traveled to southern Nevada to offer armed support to the rancher have compared Bundy’s treatment by the federal government to the plight of Native Americans.

“They are literally treating western United States citizens, ranchers, rural folks like this are the modern-day Indians,” said Justin Giles, an Oathkeeper from Alaska. “We’re being driven off of our lands. We’re being forced into reservations known as cities.”

The Paiute Indians of Nevada were forced into reservations by federal troops in 1875 - two years after the tribe had been promised the same land where Cliven Bundy now grows melons and grazes cattle.

So they want to give it back to the Paiute?
