Our Maidu programs immerse students in Native American traditions and customs. Students gain deeper understanding through hands-on, experiential learning. Programs are presented at Effie Yeaw Nature Center except where noted.

The Yokuts Indians lived in the part of California that we now call the Central Valley. Some of the early settlers called it the Valle de los Tulares, which means the Valley of the Tules. The valley was given this name because of the tules that grow on the shores of rivers and lakes.
