The government branch of the Klamath Tribes begins with the General Council, which meets quarterly and includes every enrolled Tribal 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.

The Enrollment office processes and maintains all Tribal enrollment records.  Also, all enrolled Klamath Tribal members can obtain hunting and fishing identification cards so they are able to hunt, fish, trap, and gather on the former reservation.  This office certifies members for all services for the Klamath Tribes such as, Housing, Health, Education, Commodities, Social Services, Natural Resources, and Culture and Heritage program services.
