A BGES Indian Wars Field University Program: the Pacific Boils Over: the Modoc Indian War and Other Indian Wars in the Pacific Northwest A BGES Indian Wars Field University Program: The Pacific Boils Over: The Modoc Indian War and other Indian Wars in the Pacific Northwest The expansion of the United States to the Pacific Ocean and the discovery of gold invaded the last bastions of Native American life. The demands of the Anglo settlers, supported by detachments of United States soldiers repeated a narrative of accommodation that erupted into violence that profoundly affected the people involved. The model of pacification was to find the leaders of the tribes and convince or coerce them into signing treaties that penned the nomadic tribes into “Reservations.” Here the white man promised an early form of welfare—agreeing to provide provisions and other necessities including specie and credit. Not all Indians adapted and renegades made war on civilians and isolated troops often murdering everyone, including women and children. Naturally, the soldiers responded and old friends from the Civil War such as Generals ERS Canby and John Schofield reappeared, their military careers still quite active. This is that story. We have done a comprehensive series of Indian Wars study tours and each one is noteworthy for the expanse of the conflict. Now we move for the first time into the Pacific Northwest. Here much of the source of food was from rivers and wild countryside. The lush and moist environment is its own form of Eden. You will experience beauty rarely matched on any BGES program. Come on and join us. Sunday, October 1, 2017 8 PM: Check in at our headquarters hotel in Portland. Neil and I will meet you in the lobby and distribute readings and other information about the program. You should have dinner before we meet. Hotel included. Monday, October 2, 2017 Mount up at 8 AM, We have some lovely sites to see starting with the reconstructed Fort Vancouver. This anchor fort complicated matters for the British who owned the Oregon territory area. It later became the primary fort on the Columbia River as the territory organized. It has seen many luminaries in US history including US Grant and George C. Marshall. We then go to the remaining structures of Fort Dalles home of the 9th US Infantry and a supply depot for the Yakima War. We will return to Portland along the historic Columbia River Highway—US Route 30. Lodging in Portland. Lunch provided. Tuesday October 3, 2017 This morning we will open our day by visiting the Oregon Trail National Interpretative Center. We will then have to bite the bullet to stage ourselves for the next few days. A 4 ½ hour drive takes us to the Coos Bay area and the Historical Maritime Museum. There is lots of sugar here as there were numerous engagements raids, massacres and retaliatory attacks in the 1850s. We will address those. Lodging in Bandon. Lunch included. Wednesday October 4, 2017 We will find ourselves delighted by the scenery near the Pacific coast as we examine sites related to the Rogue River Indian War of the 1850s. Our first stop is a 19th century light house at Cape Blanco. We will then go to Fort Orford site of Battle Rock where 9 settlers with four guns held off 150 raiding Indians in 1851. We then head to Miner’s fort and Geisel’s Monument where a small skirmish occurred in 1856. At Pistol River, a group of volunteers were ambushed and pressed hard into a successful defense that drove away the Indians. We will then head to Crescent City to visit the Del Norte County Museum to see some special artifacts related to the war. The day closes with free time to walk to the Battery House Light House. Lodging in Crescent City. Lunch is provided. Thursday October 5, 2017 Today we will enjoy a natural treasure by driving through Smith Redwoods State Park. We continue to see sites related to the Rogue River Indian War. We start at the Applegate Trail Interpretive Center that examines the fuel (settlement) that brought this conflict on. We then move on to the Table Rock Treaty site before visiting the remaining and associated sites at Forts Leland and Lane and the Lupton massacre site. We will also see a rare covered bridge. Lodging in Medford provided. Lunch included. Friday October 6, 2017 Our travels have brought us into the area of the Modoc War of 1872-73 and today we will visit the major sites related to it. Starting with the Lost River Battlefield, we will move on to the two battles associated with Captain Jack’s Stronghold in the lava beds and will have narrative stops at the Thomas-Wright battlefield, and Hospital Rock. Of particular interest will be the site where General Canby was murdered—it earned Captain Jack and others a death sentence. We will finish this very busy day by visiting Gillem’s Camp and the Sorass Lake Battlefield. Lunch and dinner are included. We will overnight in Klamath Falls. Saturday October 7, 2017 Today we treat you to other great features of the area. We will open by visiting the Ft. Klamath Museum. Here you can visit a museum dedicated to the Modoc War and see the graves of four of the hanged Indian leaders including Captain Jack. From here we will visit the awesome Crater Lake National Park. Created from the geological changes following the demise of an active volcano this is one of America’s oldest National Parks. We will finish the tour by visiting the Oregon Territory Interpretative Museum. Return to Portland. Lodging is NOT included this evening, lunch is.

  • Indian Country Welcome To
    Travel Guide To OREGON Indian Country Welcome to OREGON Indian Country he members of Oregon’s nine federally recognized Ttribes and Travel Oregon invite you to explore our diverse cultures in what is today the state of Oregon. Hundreds of centuries before Lewis & Clark laid eyes on the Pacific Ocean, native peoples lived here – they explored; hunted, gathered and fished; passed along the ancestral ways and observed the ancient rites. The many tribes that once called this land home developed distinct lifestyles and traditions that were passed down generation to generation. Today these traditions are still practiced by our people, and visitors have a special opportunity to experience our unique cultures and distinct histories – a rare glimpse of ancient civilizations that have survived since the beginning of time. You’ll also discover that our rich heritage is being honored alongside new enterprises and technologies that will carry our people forward for centuries to come. The following pages highlight a few of the many attractions available on and around our tribal centers. We encourage you to visit our award-winning native museums and heritage centers and to experience our powwows and cultural events. (You can learn more about scheduled powwows at www.traveloregon.com/powwow.) We hope you’ll also take time to appreciate the natural wonders that make Oregon such an enchanting place to visit – the same mountains, coastline, rivers and valleys that have always provided for our people. Few places in the world offer such a diversity of landscapes, wildlife and culture within such a short drive. Many visitors may choose to visit all nine of Oregon’s federally recognized tribes.

  • The Modoc War War in the the Modoc War Was the Only Major Native American War Fought in Lava Beds California and the Only One in Which a General Was Killed
    National Park Service Lava Beds U.S. Department of the Interior Lava Beds National Monument A Brief History of the Modoc War War in the The Modoc War was the only major Native American war fought in Lava Beds California and the only one in which a general was killed. It was also one of the most costly wars in U.S. history. According to some estimates it cost $10,000 (about $300,000 today) per warrior to subdue the Modocs in battle. The Modoc warriors totaled between 50 and 60, while there were as many as 1000 U.S. troops at the height of the conflict. The war lasted six months, from November 29, 1872 to June 1, 1873, although tensions leading to the conflict began much earlier. Much of the war was centered around Captain Jack’s Stronghold, a natural lava fortress characterized by deep trenches and small caves. The Stronghold was named for the Modocs’ war leader Keintpoos, or Captain Jack as he was known to the settlers. Some 150 Modoc men, women,and children lived in the Stronghold for five months of the war, including the harsh winter months. By the war’s end, the fatalities included 53 U.S. soldiers, 17 civilians, 2 Warm Springs Scouts, 5 Modoc women and children, and 15 Modoc warriors, five of which were killed in battle. Background to the The sage brush-covered basins and transition. Additionally, there was Conflict forested mountains of central northern friction between the Modocs and California and southern Oregon were Klamths.

  • Kintpuash (Captain Jack) (C
    Kintpuash (Captain Jack) (c. 1837-1873) By Boyd Cothran Kintpuash (Strikes the Water Brashly), also known as Captain Jack and Kientpoos, was a principal headman of the Modoc tribe during the 1860s and early 1870s. He rose to national prominence during the Modoc War of 1872-1873. Leading a coalition of Modoc bands in a war of resistance against U.S. Army forces and local militia, he held off a numerically superior force for several months. Kintpuash was hanged by the army at Fort Klamath in southeastern Oregon with three other Modoc leaders on October 3, 1873. He was the only Native American leader to be tried and convicted as a war criminal. And his life highlights many of the central conflicts over emerging federal reservation policies, the continuing practice of forced removals, and the war aims of the federal government, local citizens, and Native groups in the post-Civil War era. Born in about 1837 in a village along the Lost River in the Modocs' ancestral territory in what is today Oregon, Kintpuash was among the Modoc signatories to the 1864 treaty with the Klamath, the Modoc, the Yahooskin Paiute, and the United States. Under the terms of the treaty, the Modoc people were to relocate to the Klamath Reservation. Kintpuash initially complied with the terms of the treaty, but he later repudiated it when he found conditions on the reservation intolerable and the government unwilling to address the Modocs’ grievances. In April 1870, Kintpuash and his followers returned to their villages along the Lost River. Back in his homeland, Kintpuash lived near his white neighbors.
