The two-story Tachi Yokut Administration building was designed to meet the unique administrative needs for the Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi Yokut Tribe. It incorporates government offices, tribal artifact displays, information systems processing, and storage for the entire Tachi Yokut infrastructure. References to Tachi Yokut Tribal images, including a marble and granite floor depicting a Tachi Yokut basket pattern, add significance to a building that is used by the entire Tachi Yokut Tribe. Special attention was paid to a two-story domed rotunda area that displays Tribal artifacts and a Tribal history narrative.
