Pitkachi

The Pitkachi were a Yokuts people of the San Joaquin River, whose territory lay along the river's southern bank and the plain to the west. Their villages stood near dependable springs, streams and sloughs. For much of the year people lived in established villages, then traveled through their territory in the warmer months to gather plants and obtain game and fish. Across the river lived the Hoyima, another Yokuts community, while the Gashowu occupied country nearer the foothills.
