Tomo-Kahni State Historic Park is a state historic park located in Tehachapi, Kern County, California.[1] Designated as a state park in 1993 by California, with the agreement of elderly members of the native tribe, the land encompassing Tomo-Kahni was a settlement established by the Kawaiisu people.[2] The area was not short of resources, making it a fine place to settle for the Kawaiisu.[1] The park is home to many rock art artifacts by the native tribe that lived there.[3] Utilized to protect the people from winter weather, the settlement's name comes from the language of the Kawaiisu, meaning "winter home".[2] Many bedrock mortars remain at the site, acting as evidence for the Kawaiisu peoples' Tomo-Kahni settlement.[4]
