Klamath (possibly from mciMaks, the 

 Lutnand term for 'Indians,' 'people,' 



KLAMATH MEDICINE-MAN 



'community'; lit. 'the encamped' ). A 

 Lutuamian tribe in s. w. Oregon. They 

 call themselves Eukshikni or Auksni, 

 ' people of the lake,' referring to the fact 

 that their principal seats were on Upper 

 Klamath lake. There were also im- 

 portant settlements on Williamson and 

 Sprague rs. The Klamath are a hardy 

 people and, unlike the other branch of 

 the family, the Modoc, have always lived 

 at peace with the whites. In 1864 they 

 joined the Modoc in ceding the greater 

 part of their territory to the United States 

 and settled on Klamath res., where they 

 numbered 755 in 1905, including, how- 



ever, many former slaves and members 

 of other tribes who have become more or 

 less assimilate<l with the Klamath since 

 the establishment of the reservation. 

 Slavery was a notalile institution among 

 the Klamath, and previous to the treaty 

 of 1864 they accompanied the INIodoc 

 every year on a raid against the Acho- 

 mawi of Pit r., Cal., for the capture of 

 women and children whom they retained 

 as slaves or bartered with the Chinook at 

 The Dalles. The Klamath took no part 

 in the Modoc war of 1872-73, and it is 

 said that their contemptuous treatment 

 of the Modoc was a main cause of the 

 dissatisfaction of the latter with their 

 homes on the reservation which led to 

 their return to Lost r. and thus to the 

 war. The following are the Klamath 

 settlements and divisions so far as known: 

 Awalokaksaksi, Kohashti, Kulshtgeusli,
