Real cowboys - ranchers etc. - are now as much people of the land as indians. They have just less experience and skill to protect the land they too live from than those with hundreds of years of collective experience, and they more readily accept (for money etc.) government confiscating their land to poison it. The Bundy episode for right cause, just very badly done. Cowboys and indians are on the same side, time they both realize it and start acting together.
