The Klamath Tribal Council and the Public Relations Department has been working with Oregon Public Broadcasting on their project for the past several months, come enjoy the evening as we learn together.

The Modoc War of 1872 to 1873 was one of the costliest American Indian wars in US history. For nearly seven months, a handful of Modoc Indian warriors and their families held off hundreds of US Army soldiers.

The international press took notice, and from London to San Francisco, people were enthralled as one of the last real-life Wild West battles unfolded on the American frontier. Again and again, the small band of Indians overcame incredible odds to protect their way of life.

A panel discussion will follow. The screening is free and open to the public.
