The Klamath Tribes walked out of a summit for Oregon’s tribal governments and the governor this week, calling for action from the governor’s office over concerns about the preservation of their resources. The Klamath Tribes say their goal is the restoration of the Klamath watershed, citing a series of events that infringe on rights guaranteed through a treaty signed in 1864. … This past summer, the tribes say outfitters and guides infringed on tribal members’ fishing, creating confrontational situations and prompting requests for consultation.
