Mbosaksawaas

Mbosaksawaas, a Klamath name meaning “flint place”, lies near the meeting of the Williamson and Sprague rivers. The waters flow towards Upper Klamath Lake, among marshes and wooded uplands that formed the homeland of Klamath people. The river junction served as a seasonal camp, while fish from the basin supplied an important food. Among them were the c'waam and koptu, suckers closely connected with Klamath life and traditions.
