Because that is the town he claims ancestral rights from 1877.None of Bundy's "forefathers" were there in 1877. While some relatives were nearby, there were none living in Bunkerville so there are no Bunkerville ancestral water rights. The first Bundy in Bunkerville was in 1916, but not on the present ranch. Bubdy's family didn't buy that ranch until 1948, so the 1877 crap is a lie.From the article:
So as usual, you focus on one statement made, and dismiss the whole thing as a lie because it suits you politically. Considering the lies you let pass when it politically suits you, the progressive side is the highest order of hypocrites out there.
An abbreviated look at rancher Cliven Bundy's family history - 8 News NOW
Although no Bundys lived in Bunkerville in 1930 or 1940, according to Census records for those years, Cliven Bundys mother Bodel and her parents, John and Christena Jensen, lived in neighboring Mesquite in the early 20th Century.
Census records from 1930 indicate that John was a Mesquite farmer originally from Utah whose parents were from Denmark. Those records state the farm was near Main Street and a bridge over the Virgin River.
Separate records from the website FamilySearch, which is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, indicate that Christena Jensen was born in Nevada in 1901 and that Bodel Jensen was born in Nevada in 1924. Christena Jensens parents originally were from Utah. This is the side of the family where Cliven Bundy claims long-standing livestock water rights.
He used the term "up and down the valley" why are you focusing on one town?
Ah yes, because its the only way to make your point.
