Yokuts Pa'ashi Song and Dance | Robert Jeff | TEDxVisalia

The captivating opening of TEDxVisalia unfolded with a mesmerizing performance showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Yokuts people, particularly the Pa'ashi song and dance. Rooted in the traditions of the Yokuts, an indigenous people native to the San Joaquin Valley, this cultural expression brought vibrancy to the TEDx stage. The Pa'ashi song and dance, characterized by rhythmic movements and traditional instruments, served as a poignant introduction, inviting the audience to connect with the deep history and stories of the Yokuts. This cultural immersion not only celebrated the diversity of the region but also set the tone for a TEDx event that promised to explore diverse perspectives and ideas, bridging the past with the present in a powerful and moving way. Heyett, my name is Robert (Bob) Jeff, and I am an American Citizen as well as a member of the Tachi Yoktus Tribe in Lemoore, California. I am a tribal leader as well as a spiritual practitioner for my tribe. Being involved in the spiritual aspect of my tribe is what keeps me balanced and what tells me to love all life. This life has brought many cultures together here in American and all I want is for us to all live a good and healthy life and look out for the health of our next seven generations that come after us. I will be discussing Tachi's connection to the land and Pa'ashi (Tulare Lake). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
