A resolution commemorating the Modoc War of 1872-73, honoring those who lost their lives in the war and expressing regret for “the expulsion of the Modoc Tribe from their ancestral lands in Oregon” passed the Oregon Senate Tuesday and moves on to the State House.
However, an amendment to the resolution removed wording that had expressed “regret over the 1873 Modoc War execution of Kintpuash” (Captain Jack) and three other Modocs.”
