Tachi Yokut Tribe
These indians have inhabited the San Joaquin valley for centuries.
Their forefathers made their living peacefully through farming, hunting, fishing, and gathering grains, nuts and fruits. Their lands consisted of fertile valleys, marshlands and rolling foothills.
With the arrival of the American settlers, they gradually lost the land where they once lived. Their land was given away by the government or sold to farmers and ranchers, sometimes as bounty for killing indians. By the end of the 19th century, the Tachi Yokut Tribe was split across the central and southern parts of California.
