In 1873, Lava Beds National Monument in northern California was the site of the Modoc War, an armed conflict between members of the Modoc Tribe and the U.S. Army. The Modoc people wanted to live in their home territory, but troops tried to forcibly relocate them to a reservation. You can learn more about the Modoc people and the history of northern California on Aerial America: Northern California. Tune in tonight at 10PM. http://bit.ly/2z9pMee | Smithsonian Channel
