War Dance Circle
Photographer: Douglass Halvorsen
Taken: October 6, 2012
Caption: War Dance Circle
Additional Description: This site is very sacred to the Modoc Tribe and even today, they will occasionally use this historic location for dances and tributes to their people. During the last stand here in the Stronghold, Captain Jack and his followers used this War Dance Circle during the evenings as potential intimidation to the U.S. Army troops camped outside and would definitely have heard the war cries from the Modocs preparing for the next day's battle.
