FDI - Klamath

The Klamath were a sedentary hunter/gatherer tribe. They lived about Upper Klamath Lake, Klamath Marsh, and Willliamson and Sprague River. They were most closely related to the Modoc with whom they had the most conflicts. The Modoc joined the Klamath in 1874 after the Modoc War in Northern California.
