-- Klamath Tribes Chairman Joe Kirk spoke Oct. 30 in Chiloquin, Ore., about how
sucker fish, known in the Klamath language as chwam, were once plentiful in the
Klamath Basin but are now endangered.
| Judge
Owen M. Panner's Decision in Adair III "that
the tribes' claim to water supercedes all other claims in the Upper
Basin, including those of irrigators in the Klamath Reclamation Project
and reaffirmed that the Klamath Indian Tribes hold a water right with a
priority date of “time immemorial” in the Upper Klamath Basin. |
