KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -- The recently created Modoc Nation, formerly The Modoc Tribe have broken away from the Klamath Tribes. They are working to create legitimacy among other Indian tribes and government agencies.
Earlier this summer, Modocs declared their independence from the Klamath Tribes.
Tribal officials told the Herald and News in Klamath Falls that nearly 100 adults, including 30 enrolled Klamaths, have obtained voting memberships.
Officials said the goal of the Modoc Nation is to become completely self-sufficient in 15 years and end any reliance on federal funding.
They say the only long-term relationship will be to ensure that hunting, fishing, and gathering rights are recognized.
