About Yokuts
"Between 40 and 60 tribes of Yokuts people were situated in Central California. Geographically they were divided into three groups 1) the Southern Valley Yokuts 2) the Northern Valley Yokuts and 3) the Foothill Yokuts. Their economy was based on fishing, hunting land animals and waterfowl and collecting shellfish, roots, seeds and nuts." Native American Basketry of Central California by Christopher L. Moser.
