Tachi Yokut Tribe

History
The Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi Yokut is a Native American Indian tribe located in the rural area city of Lemoore, California. In the Tachi native languages, the meaning of the word “Yokut” is known for its people. When it is combined and translated, it means Tachi People. The tribe has the financial capacity to become self-efficient since it owns and operates a profitable multi-million dollar casino business enterprise called Tachi Palace Casino, Hotel, and Resort. Therefore, to capitalize on additional profits and expand its business investment, a new entrepreneurial venture business proposal strategy will be provided to the Tachi Yokut Tribal Council so they can make an informal decision. The Tachi Tribe has been without internet

WISP is the next generation of wireless internet and the leader in wireless technologies for tribal community, school, business, and entertainment. The new WISP business will employ top of the line products and provides exceptional technical and unmatched services exceeding those of traditional service providers, such as Comcast, AT&T, and Direct TV. The tribal WISP will enable people in rural communities to be connected to mainstream media and level the playing field. This, in turn, will provide economic development opportunities and will improve their quality of life for the Tachi Yokut

It is clear; there is an influx of opportunity for Tachi Yokut tribe and other tribal nation where research indicates it is an untapped market when it comes to technology industries, especially in the area of improving the quality of life in rural communities. Currently, Tachi Yokut tribes have no internet access, unlike some of the major surrounding local cities such as Lemoore and Hanford. This has created social and economic barriers for the people in the Tachi Yokut rural communities by isolating them from the mainstream media. The lack of access to the internet has made the people in the rural communities less competitive compared to the people living in the major cities with internet access. In addition, the lack of internet access has made tribal educational institutions in the rural communities incompatible with the county current standard educational requirements. This has led to many students from the rural communities having to repeat classes when they apply to community colleges and universities in the major cities. As a result, the disparity in social and economic opportunities for the people in rural communities continues to exist.
