Klamath Tribes

The Klamath Tribes are a Native American group consisting of the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin Paiute people, primarily based in southern Oregon and northern California. Historically, they lived off fishing, hunting, and gathering. In the 19th century, their lands were often taken through treaties and government actions, leading to displacement and hardship. Today, the Klamath Tribes work to preserve their culture, rights, and natural resources, including fishing rights and land management. They are recognized as a sovereign nation, with their own government and efforts to promote the well-being of their members and their cultural heritage.
