In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Yahooskin Band of Snake as a party: Treaty with the Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin Band of Snake, 1864.
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 2 cessions of land from Yahooskin Band of Snake: about 14 million acres by this atlas’s estimate, counting overlaps once. 2 of them came through treaties and agreements. The largest was Land of the Klamath, Modok and others in California and Oregon, ceded 1864 (area 462), about 14 million acres, ceded under Treaty with the Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin Band of Snake, 1864.
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Yahooskin Band of Snake: Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin: the 1864 treaty and termination (1954-1961).
The records group it with Klamath Tribes. Today, Klamath Tribes carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
