Yokut Houses |

||||||
| The Yokut, Native Americans of central California, built several types of dwellings. The largest were wedge-shaped houses constructed from poles and covered with mats of grass, reeds, or other fiber. These houses stood in a row and in front of them a covered wooden structure called a ramada provided shade for preparing food and doing other work. | ||||||
