Modoc Tribe

The Modoc Tribe is a federally recognized Indian Tribe under the leadership of Chief Bill G. Follis. The tribe has various ventures including Red Cedar Recycling and the Stables Casino. In addition to these, we operate a bison ranch that produces meat for sale.

The Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma is a federally recognized tribe of Modoc people, the smallest tribe in Oklahoma and located in Ottawa County in the northeast corner of the state. They are descendants of Captain Jack's band of Modoc people, removed in 1873 from their traditional territory in northern California and southern Oregon after the Modoc Wars.

Apparently the Tule Lake Community filed a “Petition for a Writ of Mandate” on the 25th day of July, 2014, at Glen Ellen, California. (Page One below left or click on link for complete Writ of Mandate. ---> “Petition for a Writ of Mandate”)

Letter to the Editor: Writ of mandamus against City of Tulelake is unjust Jan 10, 2015

"In July, a writ of mandamus was filed generally against the County of Modoc, the City of Tulelake, and the operators of the Tulelake Airport. It appears that the driving issue is an objection on the part of former internees, etc., of the Tule Lake Segregation Camp (via the Tule Lake Committee) to the construction of an airport safety fence designed to keep aircraft from dangerously conflicting with humans and animals."

Tule Lake Committee re-files airport fencing lawsuit Apr 12, 2017 By LEE JUILLERAT For the Herald and News.

"A second lawsuit against Modoc County was filed recently by the Tule Lake Committee (TLC) over an ongoing dispute about fencing the Tulelake Airport. The TLC claims in the suit that erecting a fence around the airport violates a state environmental law that protects historic places. The airport is within the former World War II Tule Lake Segregation Center, where more than 12,000 Japanese-Americans, two-thirds of them United States citizens, were incarcerated..."

"As the year comes to an end, we send our deep thanks to the over 5,000 of you who wrote letters to Modoc County, in opposition to the proposed fence at the Tule Lake airport."

Stop the Fence at Tule Lake Movie
(About 9 months ago)

A site where American citizens were imprisoned and tortured, where babies were born, where people died and were buried, where human beings were stripped of civil liberties by their own government.

The land doesn't forget. It holds our memories, our remains, and our legacy.

A fence that would desecrate the Tule Lake site is an offense to humanity.

There are over 24,000 stories of human beings imprisoned at Tule Lake. We are fighting to save the legacy of every one of them.

Resistance at Tule Lake

Resistance at Tule Lake tells the long-suppressed story of incarcerated Japanese Americans who defied the government by refusing to swear unconditional loyalty to the U.S. Though this was an act of protest and family survival, they were branded as “disloyals” by the government and packed into the newly designated Tule Lake Segregation Center.

The Disputed Second Life of an American Internment Camp
BY Alastair Boone May 24, 2018

In Northern California, a debate is raging about a plan to build a fence around the small airport sitting on a site where people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom were American citizens, were forcibly interned.

The Tulelake Municipal Airport is a single runway and one small hangar—just over half a square mile in all. Flat land stretches around the airport for miles: Lush green farmland unfurls north toward the Oregon border—about 13 miles away—dotted with homesteads that tend to the surrounding land. Brown loamy soil yawns out to the east, and 50 miles to the west, Mount Shasta’s snowy cap is just visible on a clear day.

Tulelake council approves first step to sell land underlying airport Jul 12, 2018 By LEE JUILLERAT for the Herald and News.

"The city of Tulelake’s involvement with the Tulelake Airport is nearing a close. Earlier this month, the Tulelake City Council held the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the sale of the land underlying the airport to the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma.

12. PUBLIC MEETING: To consider an ordinance approving the proposed sale of the fee interest in the land underlying the Tulelake Municipal Airport, located in Modoc County. APNs: 005-210-009 and 005-220-020. Discussion/Action. (Mayor Ebinger)

13. Second reading with any possible corrections, of Ordinance No. 2018-16-01, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Tulelake, California, authorizing the sale of land underlying Tulelake Municipal Airport to the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma" Discussion/Action (City Clerk/City Hall Administrator)

14. Approval of Ordinance No. 2018-16-01, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Tulelake, California, authorizing the sale of land underlying Tulelake Municipal Airport to the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma" Discussion/Action (Mayor Ebinger)

The Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma has been making negotiations with the city of Tulelake. regarding land at the Tulelake Airport. Now a lot of "interest holders" have been involved in these negotiations. This has been a big deal to all involved. So now, after the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma. has agreed to purchase this property from the city of Tulelake at a set price, here comes "Tule Lake Community", which is a group of people that are interested in the history of the Tulelake Japanese-American internment camp.

They are offering even MORE MONEY than the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma.

There will be a PUBLIC MEETING on Tuesday, July 17, 2018, @ 5:30 PM at Tulelake City Hall Council Chambers located at 591 Main Street, Tulelake, CA., 96134.

I just think if anyone is interested, they should attend that PUBLIC MEETING. I have no invested interest in the Tulelake Municipal Airport. Is it about the money ($40,000 vs $17,500) or is it about what is best for Tulelake?

After all the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma, the real native Americans, were here centuries ago, long before the first Japanese ancestry also known as the Tule Lake Community ever stepped foot on North America, and known today as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

We shall see..... AND THE BEAT GOES ON!!
