General Council

Tribal government starts with the General Council, which meets quarterly, and includes every enrolled member 18 years or older.

General Council then elects a ten member board known as Tribal Council. This elected body includes a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, and 6 Council Members, often known as Tribal Government. These members are elected every three years to protect and enhance Tribal interests, support Economic Self-Sufficiency efforts, sustain the Klamath Tribal Constitution and Bylaws, attend to day-to-day tribal government business and operations, and uphold the Klamath Tribal Treaty Rights of 1864.
