Modoc

Not yet reviewed by this nation. What follows comes from public records and research. It does not speak for the nation.

Region: Pacific Northwest

In the record

The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Modoc as a party: Treaty with the Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin Band of Snake, 1864.

The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Modoc: Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin: the 1864 treaty and termination (1954-1961).

The records group it with Klamath Tribes. Today, Klamath Tribes and Modoc Nation carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.

Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.

The record over time

Circles are land the United States recorded as ceded, sized by acres and colored by how it was taken. Bars are treaties, broken promises, court cases and land returns.
