The Modoc Nation is a federally recognized Native American Tribe located in Oklahoma.

VISION

To honor our ancestors, empower our people, and build a sovereign future grounded in self-sufficiency, cultural strength, and community resilience.

We will govern with integrity, heal through community, and thrive together for generations to come.

MISSION

To serve the citizens of the Modoc Nation through effective governance, economic and educational empowerment, cultural stewardship, and sustainable development, preserving our heritage while advancing our sovereignty.

Chief Robert Burkybile

In 2022, the Modoc Nation tribal members voted Robert Burkybile the new Chief of the Modoc Nation.

Rob wants to continue and expand services to members; the development of our California projects for conservation, cultural connection, and economic development; our bison range; and our language preservation.

His initiatives going forward include enhancing relationships and collaboration with other tribes; improving the structure of the government and entities of the Nation; and offering opportunities for members to provide feedback to the elected council more than just at the annual meeting.

Rob has been serving the Nation since 2014 and has been a Miami, Oklahoma resident most of his life.
