Sáttítla, also known as the Medicine Lake Highlands, is a magnificent varied landscape encompassing clear lakes, lava flows, mountains of glass-like obsidian, white pumice, dark boulders, lava tubes, and ice caves. For at least 10,000 years Sáttítla has been a place of traditional spiritual culture to the Pit River and Modoc Nations as well as to more distant tribes. It is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, which has designated a 113-square-mile Native American Traditional Cultural District.
