Chukchansi is the language spoken regionally, in which anthropologists have classified an estimated 60 tribes together as Yokuts-meaning people. Many Chukchansi still live in these foothills about 30 miles north of Fresno the headquarters of the tribe, Picayune Rancheria, is located there today. In recent times, the territory of the Chukchansi population has ranged from the Sierra Nevada foothills in the East, to the Fresno and Chowchilla river valleys in Central California, down to the Tehachapi mountains in the South. Chukchansi Yokuts are indigenous to Central California where they have inhabited areas of the San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Nevada foothills for more than 12,000 years.
The Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians is affiliated to Chukchansi Yokuts culture.
