A room with roots

The Cholame Valley was once home to the Tachi Yokut tribe, who named it Cholame (pronounced “show-LAM”), meaning “the beautiful one.” The Yokut lived in permanent tule-mat homes, traveled seasonally to gather food and trade, and were skilled artisans, creating baskets and painted rock art. The area around today’s Parkfield CAL FIRE station was a major trading hub connecting tribes across the region.
