  • The Modoc Nation (Formerly Known As the “Modoc Tribe”), A
    The Modoc Nation (formerly known as the “Modoc Tribe”), a federally recognized native nation by virtue of the Lakes Treaty of 1864 and the Klamath Tribe Restoration Act of 1986 We can no longer tolerate outright refusal of protecting our best interest. If the current conditions were to continue the outright extermination of our people would be complete. Our Ancestral land and water rights will be non- existent and we will be unable to hunt fish and gather as we have always done since time immemorial. We have always been the Modoc Tribe of Northern California and Southern Oregon. We have always been a separate tribe, we were never a band of the Klamath’s and we have never relinquished our Federal Recognition. Our Tribe existed long before there was a California or Oregon. Our tribe is a Federally Recognized Tribe, instead of taking things out of context and stating we are not separate from the Klamath Tribe. (Although the short terminology refers to the Klamath Tribe or Tribes, the long definition has always stated 3 separate tribes in all treaties). There is the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma, who was forced there not by choice and chose to stay rather than be forced to live with the Klamath tribe. There are Modocs enrolled in the Klamath Tribe(s) as “Klamath”, since the Klamath tribe refuses to acknowledge the Modoc tribe (except when there is financial gain by using our name). We represent all Modoc people of Northern California and Southern Oregon who are enrolled in The Modoc Nation as “Modoc” as we are the Modoc Tribe who have existed in our Ancestral Homelands for over fourteen thousand years or more.

  • The Sauk Language of the Sac and Fox of Oklahoma
    Language Preservation with the Help of Written Language: The Sauk Language of the Sac and Fox of Oklahoma KERSTIN MULLER REINSCHMIDT University of Tucson Ta ka we na nu ta ma. Ke ne no ta we?1 The chances of coming across a tribal member who can understand these phrases are small, because the tribe's main spoken language today is English. The Sac and Fox of Oklahoma2 have not been spared by history and share the fate of native language loss along with the majority of Indian communities across North America. Writing about the Mohawk language, Mithun and Chafe (1979:8) see the value of native languages as "the clearest symbols of their Indianness", and they ask: "Is such a loss inevitable, or, given the desire, can a community do something to retard or reverse it?" In this paper, I focus on Sauk orthography. Brandt (1988:328), who shows how linguists have served as consultants for North American tribes in various contexts, notes that "A central [context] is in orthography development and in teaching people to read and write their own languages."3 Within the contemporary context of literacy, Sauk needs to be visible as well as audible. Unfortunately, there has never been any agreement about the orthography to be used. While linguistic transcriptions vary from very detailed phonetic ones to more simplified phonemic representa­ tions, the Sac and Fox themselves have adopted what they call a "syllabic spelling" for their language. 1 "I speak a little Sauk. Do you understand?" The spelling is adopted from the Sac and Fox Primer Book (1977).
