The Klamath Tribes’ Wildland Fire Program is supporting wildfire response efforts across the United States while continuing to strengthen local fire protection and workforce development in the Chiloquin area.

Federal agencies have awarded $6 million to help tribes and Oregon officials restore spring Chinook salmon in the Klamath Basin through hatchery expansion and remote stream incubation sites.

Chiloquin students and community members celebrated the grand opening of the district’s new gymnasium with a blue-ribbon ceremony, cultural blessings, and a packed house ahead of basketball season.

Students and staff at Chiloquin Junior/Senior High School gathered for a traditional salmon bake and round dance as part of a day dedicated to celebrating Native American Heritage Month. Hosted in partnership with the Klamath Tribes and community organizations, the event highlighted cultural traditions, salmon’s ecological and spiritual importance, and the value of connecting students with their Indigenous heritage.
