Modoc Nation: An Untold Story of Survival (2021)

The untold true story of the Modoc tribe of Northern California. Outnumbered ten to one, Kintpuash led his people to take a stand against U.S. Army soldiers in 1872 to protect their land. For over a year, the Modocs tenaciously stood their ground in the California lava beds. In the end, four leaders of the Modoc tribe were tried and executed in front of their people - the only Native American leaders ever tried for war crimes. The Modoc War survivors - 163 men, women, and children - were transported as prisoners of war on cattle cars to Oklahoma. This is the story of what happened to Modoc warriors and their families after all was lost.
