The Klamath are Native Americans living in southwestern Oregon. Traditionally, the Klamath were fishers, gatherers, and hunters. On the reservation, the Klamath added stock raising and logging to their economic pursuits. Off the reservation, day labor, particularly farm work, became more important. Unlike many other groups, the Klamath did not suffer from European-introduced epidemic diseases or from hostilities with Euro-American settlers. In 1864 the Klamath entered into a treaty with the Federal government, ceding most of their aboriginal land in return for the more than one million acre Klamath Reservation.
