WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2002

The Bureau of Land Management in Nevada plans to auction cattle seized from two Western Shoshone sisters who have refused to pay grazing fees on land they consider aboriginal territory.

Mary and Carrie Dann, along with other tribal activists, are protesting Friday's auction. The BLM seized 227 cattle belonging to the sisters.
