“…He goes on to say that the technique of running down animals is seldom used by individuals alone, given the complexity of following the quarry (Silberbauer 1981a: 215-216). Similar observations were made of !Ju/'hoansi hunters in the northwestern Kalahari by Wilmsen (1989b:226-235) and by !Xoo hunters in the southwestern Kalahari by Hans-Joachim Heinz (personal communication 1995, 1997. Kua hunters used all of these techniques, and in a number of cases they combined them, as was the case, for example, when they chased prey on horseback with spears and dogs.…”

“…While the ancestral Proto-Yokutsan community may date to as recently as 1,500 years ago (Golla 2007), the word is ancient in central California, since it can be reconstructed for the proto-language of a deeper California language family, Yok-Utian, which includes Yokutsan along with the Costanoan and Miwokan languages. Proto-Yok-Utian probably dates to the Middle Holocene (Callaghan 1997). The reconstructed forms are shown in (1):…”

Chukchansi belongs to the Yokuts language family (ISO 639 code: yok) ancestrally spoken in the San Joaquin valley of Central California and in the adjacent foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The headquarters of the Chukchansi tribe is located in Coarsegold and many members of the tribe live in and around Madera and Fresno counties. As shown in the map in Figure 1, there are three major territories of the Yokuts: Northern Valley Yokuts, Foothill Yokuts, and Southern Valley Yokuts. While the territory of the Chukchansi is in the foothills area, the dialect is linguistically Northern Valley (Whistler & Golla 1986), as shown in Figure 2. Yawelmani, a Yokuts language that has been a subject of extensive linguistic research (e.g. Newman 1944, Archangeli 1983, Weigel 2005), is a dialect of the Southern Valley Yokuts. It is unclear to what extent Yokuts varieties are mutually intelligible. Yokuts is often considered to be a part of a larger Penutian language family (e.g. Dixon & Kroeber 1913, Sapir 1921, DeLancey & Golla 1997). While the status of Penutian as a macro-family is disputed, Yokuts is very likely related to the Miwok and Costanoan language families of California (Callaghan 1997).
