White Man’s Law Rules the Country: The Modoc War
About this episode
One of the costliest conflicts launched in opposition of Indigenous Americans, the Modoc War pitted the United States Army against a dwindling band of Modoc. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Modoc fighters successfully defended their post for six months. Yet the Modoc War remains one of the least known conflicts in history.
Tune in to learn about the Modoc and what drove them to war.
