The Klamath Tribe is a Native American tribe located in southern Oregon and northern California. They are composed of three main groups: the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin peoples. Historically, the tribe relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering for sustenance, with the Klamath Lake and surrounding areas playing a crucial role in their culture and economy. In the 19th century, the Klamath Tribe faced significant challenges, including loss of land and resources due to U.S. government policies. Today, the tribe is recognized federally and works to preserve its cultural heritage while managing natural resources and promoting economic development for its members.
