Water dispute

 * 2001-2002 Klamath Basin Water Wars


 * Contestants: Farmers - Fishermen - Tribes


 * As water adjudication (the process of determining who has legal title to water) moved west, struggles over water rights ensued, and communities divided. One of the last places this process has yet to work itself out in these United States is along the California/Oregon Borderlands of the Klamath Basin. See Right-Farmer view or the Left-Environmentalist view


 * The irony, for the farmers, was that the tribe was ready to negotiate a mutual water sharing pact, the tribe never wanted to shut off all the farmers water, however this is what ensued after the farmers left the negotiation table. At the Water Committee meeting in 2001 the farming representative described their treatment at the hands of the Federal Government. This garnered the somewhat sympathetic response by a tribal councilman, "They're treating you like they used to treat us!" And perhaps a moment to commiserate. However, the farming representative stood up and said, "We don't want to be treated like any damn Indians." Then all the farmers left the Water committee meeting in a bad feeling. Later their was yet another mediation scheduled in Eugene, Oregon with Judge Tom Coffin, all parties were present except the farmers. THe effect of all this avoidance was the inevitable shutting off all water to the farmers in the Summer of 2001. AND much racial hatred. As expressed by Judge Issacson during the sentencing of three boys from Bonanza who went to Chiloquin and shot up this historically tribal town, You boys aren't going to understand this, because you are racist, and furthermore the Klamath Basin is the most racist area outside of the south...


 * See... Racism on the Klamath


 * River Impossible


 * Example of some of the challenges in this town. Search for Chiloquin


 * Tensions are presently reduced, but only because the tribe has a go-along-to-get-along attitude.

 * The recent water rights struggle should be included in the article, but as written this violates WP:NPOV and needs to put into wiki style and made more encyclopedic. Thanks. Katr67 21:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Everyone agrees that this is a very challenging current event that should be acknowledged in Wikipedia. I am being BOLD for bringing this up. It should not just be erased. There are several points of view on this, see the talk page. Don't just erase.

 * I'm not erasing this because there is anything wrong with including the info. But the main article space is not the place to discuss the merits of the information. It needs to be cleaned up and written to match the rest of the article and have the sources cited properly. If I have time later I will see what I can do. Katr67 17:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Here is a good source for the water rights issue—a special series from the Oregonian. These articles all mention the issue: Gale Norton, Klamath River, Upper Klamath Lake, and Klamath Reclamation Project. Some of this could be added to the Klamath article. I think the issue might be worthy of its own article at some point. Katr67 15:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Former name
Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon. Needs a source. Katr67 03:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Census?

 * The U.S. Census is an invalid way to judge the members living on the reservation as most are unwanted on tribal land.

I moved the above comment from the main page as the place to discuss the article in on this page. Feel free to discuss the problem with using the census data in the article here and we can see about modifying the text if necessary. I'm not sure I understand what the statement means--can someone explain? Thanks. Katr67 04:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Water controversy
This needs to be expanded but in a cited, npov manner. Indian County Today and News from Indian Country would probably be good online sources for current issues facing the Klamath Tribes. Regarding recent edits about blood quantum, the overwhelming majority of Native American tribes require a minimum blood for membership. -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:08, 24 November 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi
