What is "lakisamni"

The Lakisamni, or alternately Laquisimne, are one of the divisions of the Yokut people, indigenous to the Stanislaus River area in California.

The Lakisamni probably inhabited the land in the San Joaquin Valley, from present-day Ripon in the west to Knights Ferry in the east. Mortar stones on the rocks in the banks of the Stanislaus River in Knights Ferry are evidence that the tribe once lived in the area.
