Edison Chiloquin the last Klamath who refused to sell
Edison Chiloquin, hereditary Plaikan chief and last Klamath with treaty rights, has refused the 1969 land sale despite compartmental pressure. He keeps land but rejects the final payment, choosing to preserve heritage while constructing an authentic Indian village on Sprague River. His stance embodies the struggle over tribal identity and federal termination policy.
