In the record
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Klamath Tribes: Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin: the 1864 treaty and termination (1954-1961). One court case turned on its rights: Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife v. Klamath Indian Tribe.
This nation carries the history of Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin Band of Snake in the treaty record.
