My first degree is anthropology and I am aware of the huge amount of damage done to First Nations sites by those in ATV's. Think of it as, how would you like it if some one was driving around the grave yard your grand parents were buried in and whooping it up. This is an area that is culturally sensitive and I don't know that there are grave sites but none the less why can't there be areas preserved from the noise and stink and all too often just plain lack of respect for those that were here first.
ALL of the US, at one time or another, had somebody else living on it. The natives that we drove off, drove off other tribes before them.
You are saying, even if an area has no graves, we should not use it.
Therefore, ALL of the US is off limits to us doing anything! All you non-native people in the US, just leave. No matter what you do, or where you do it, you are desecrating and not paying respect to the natives, thus JUST LEAVE!
