The Modoc Tribe is a Native American tribe originally from the region around the Klamath Lake in southern Oregon and northern California. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional practices, languages, and crafts. The tribe historically relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering for sustenance. In the mid-19th century, the Modoc people faced significant challenges due to conflicts with settlers and the U.S. government. This led to the Modoc War of 1872-1873, a significant conflict that resulted in the forced relocation of many tribe members. Today, the Modoc Tribe is recognized as a federally recognized tribe and continues to preserve its cultural identity.
