Modokni

The Modoc lived among the lakes and wetlands of the southern Klamath Basin. Their settlements stood along Tule Lake, the Lost River and Clear Lake, as well as in nearby valleys. Fish and waterfowl supplied food from the waters, while people hunted game and gathered seeds and bulbs on the surrounding ground. Winter villages lay close to the lakes and rivers, linking the people to fishing places and the rich marshes of their homeland.
