In the summer of 1957, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
archeological site near Mount Dome,
Siskiyou County, CA, during
excavations by Klamath County
Museums staff. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Klamath County Museums’
professional staff estimated the human
remains to be approximately 500 years
old based on the other materials
collected from the site. Archeological
material collected, but determined not
to be associated funerary objects, such
as obsidian points, mortar and pestle
fragments, obsidian and chert chips,
projectile points, bone awls, beads, and
stone knives, show a continuity in
culture to the Klamath or Modoc people.
Furthermore, the site near the Mount
Dome area is located within the
ancestral lands of the Klamath/Modoc
people.
The Klamath Tribes, Oregon and
Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma have a shared
ancestry. Following the conclusion of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

the Modoc wars, the Modoc people were
relocated to Oklahoma. In 1888, the
Modoc reservation was established in
Oklahoma. In 1909, permission was
granted to the Modoc to return to
Oregon. Those who returned became
part of the Klamath Tribes, Oregon. The
present-day descendants of the Klamath
or Modoc people are members of the
present-day Klamath Tribes, Oregon and
Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma.
Officials of the Klamath County
Museums have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
