I used to live in Fort Bidwell, Modoc County, as a child, on my Dad's ranch. We had a Modoc reservation very nearby and I remember interactions with them regularly. My mom worked on their reservation. We went to their powows and even at age 5 I had a little Modoc friend I remember.
sounds like you guys liked Pearl Jam, wow this was awesome, really makes me ashamed to consider America my home because it is not....Native Americans were so in touch with Earth and it saddens me that white man destroyed their culture.
thank you for this. I too am modoc and a descendant of captain jack,he was my great,great,great,great grandfather...this is the land where I want my ashes to be scattered when my time comes....thank you friend.
Thank you so very much ponhand. It is through considerationn ad observation of these realities, that people will realize that there is a BIG difference between good "americans", and good HUMANS.
ive been there. the place is very strong. you can feel the history and the sadness that happened there. we left feathers at the post. i am modoc but i am far away from home. thank you for this post.
little big horn was later.This is the only time where Indians killed an American General(Canby).They still had fights with Indians a kid I went to school with His great grandfather was killed in 1913 when a possi chased cattle stealing Indians into Nevada.and in 1985 I saw an Indian pull a pistol and shoot three Mexicans killing one but that was the last major battle at the strong hold

Land belongs to no one. Neither to those who it is taken away from, neither to those who take it.
