Modoc People
The Modoc are a Native American people who originally lived in the area which is now northeastern California and central Southern Oregon. They are currently divided between Oregon and Oklahoma and are enrolled in either of two federally recognized tribes, the Klamath Tribes in Oregon and the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma, now known as the Modoc Nation. Language The Modoc, like the neighboring Klamath, spoke dialectic varieties of the Klamathan/Lutuamian language, a branch of the Plateau Penutian language family. Both peoples called themselves ''maklaks'', meaning "people". To distinguish between the tribes, the Modoc called themselves ''Moatokni maklaks'', from ''muat'' meaning "South". The Achomawi, a band of the Pit River tribe, called them ''Lutuami'', meaning "Lake Dwellers". Current population and geography About 600 Modoc live in Klamath County, Oregon, in and around their ancestral homelands. This group includes those who stayed on the reservation during the Modoc War, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Modoc National Forest
Modoc National Forest is a U.S. national forest in Northeastern California. Geography The Modoc National Forest protects parts of Modoc (82.9% of acreage), Lassen (9.4%), and Siskiyou (7.7%) counties. Most of the forest was covered by immense lava flows occurring over the last 500,000 years. The eastern part of the forest east of Alturas contains the Warner Mountains. The Warner Mountains drop steeply on the eastern slopes, whereas the western flank has a more gentle topography. Ecology Due to the elevation and precipitation differences, the forests hosts a large number of plant species. The western side of the brushy foothills consist mostly of bitterbrush and curl-leaf mahogany. As elevation increases, forests of ponderosa pine, white and red firs, incense cedar, and aspen give way to lodgepole and western white pines sprinkle towards the summit. Some of the forest have been identified as old growth, with lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, white fir, incense cedar, and ...

''Modoc'' is a book written by American writer Ralph Helfer and published in 1998. It tells the true story of a boy and an elephant, and their fight to stay together across three continents. Plot summary ''Modoc'' tells the true story of Bram Gunterstein (the German son of a third-generation circus animal trainer) and his pet elephant, Modoc, both born on the same day in 1896. In the novelization, Bram’s father has long wished for a boy and a girl, and quickly feels that his dream has just been fulfilled. From an early age, Bram follows in his father’s footsteps; and Bram’s family is unique in the way they train the elephants: instead of threat and intimidation, the pachyderms are treated with praise and respect. Once old enough, Modoc begins to perform in the circus. But soon, the circus owner falls ill, and the circus itself is sold to an American, Mr. North.

Modoc Point
Modoc Point is a cliff on the east shore of Upper Klamath Lake, in Klamath County, Oregon, United States, approximately 15 miles north of Klamath Falls on U.S. Route 97. It is part of the larger cliff known as Modoc Rim or Modoc Ridge. The point is named for the Modoc tribe of Native Americans because it was assigned to them when they moved on to the Klamath Reservation, following a treaty in 1864. This area was then part of the reservation. Captain Jack and his band lived in this area from December 31, 1869, to April 26, 1870.
