The Cause
Most of the problems facing the Klamath Tribes revolve around the 3rd generation occupation of Tribal Land by
"Farmers" with an idea that it is feasable to farm "High Desert" land.
The Klamath Tribes hold the water rights to the basin, and the Farmers overirrigation demands more water than can or
be should be supplied.
The problems that we see here are typical of all of Indian Country.
One of the problems that does exist there that is not always common is the lack of a large enough Tribal Land Base to
create a buffer zone for the Tribes from the non Indian population..
