Please Call to Help The Modoc Nation Keep it's Rights!

Dear Friends and Family, it is not too late yet. Please contact the Energy and Natural Resource Committee and tell them that we oppose S.2379 Klamath Basin Water Agreement. That taking away our Rights is not what we want and do not agree... to it. That if this goes through yet another grievous injustice has been committed against our people. That The Modoc Nation exercised it Rights as a Federally Recognized Tribe in 2010 and formed it's own Government to protect its people,rights and homeland. That the Klamath's have no authority to sign away anything regarding the Modoc tribe. Please Call 202-224-4971
