Klamath (possibly from mciMaks, the Lutnand term for 'Indians,' 'people,'. KLAMATH MEDICINE-MAN 'community'; lit. 'the encamped'). A Lutuamian tribe in s. w. Oregon. They call themselves Eukshikni or Auksni, ' people of the lake,' referring to the fact that their principal seats were on Upper Klamath lake. There were also im- portant settlements on Williamson and Sprague rs. The Klamath are a hardy people and, unlike the other branch of the family, the Modoc, have always lived at peace with the whites. In 1864 they joined the Modoc in ceding the greater part of their territory to the United States and settled on Klamath res., where they numbered 755 in 1905, including, how- ever, many former slaves and members of other tribes who have become more or less assimilate<l with the Klamath since the establishment of the reservation. Slavery was a notalile institution among the Klamath, and previous to the treaty of 1864 they accompanied the INIodoc every year on a raid against the Acho- mawi of Pit r., Cal., for the capture of women and children whom they retained as slaves or bartered with the Chinook at The Dalles
