George & Beth Gage

Carrie and Mary Dann are feisty Western Shoshone sisters who live and ranch in northern Nevada. The sisters have always grazed their livestock on the open range outside their ranch—part of 60 million acres recognized by the U.S. government as Western Shoshone land by the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. In 1973, the Bureau of Land Management informed the Danns that their animals were trespassing on United States public land without a permit, which set off a dispute between the sisters and the United States that swept to the U.S. Supreme Court and beyond.
