Modoc tribes women at the Lava Beds National Monument

In honor of Women's History Month, let's take a moment to acknowledge how important women were to Modoc tribes living on the Lava Beds. Responsible for gathering and preparing food, tanning hides, making winter clothing, and weaving cultural art, Modoc women were the life force behind a tribe's survival. Older women would also serve alongside men as shamans, or healing doctors.
