摘要

The Klamath Tribes consist of three historically separate tribes: the Klamath Tribe, the Modoc Tribe, and the Yahooskin band of Snake Indians. The Klamath Tribes once occupied large areas of the Upper Klamath Basin--including Upper Klamath Lake, Klamath Marsh and the Williamson River. The Tribes historically engaged in a seasonal round of harvest that included suckers (mullet), trout, and spring and fall Chinook. Fishing was often a large-scale affair, as large numbers of salmon and mullet spawned in the Upper Basin at roughly the same times and locations and were followed by trout who consumed the spawn of both species (Deur 2011).
