Refers to the culture of the Western Mono, a Native American group from central California who speak a language belonging to the Numic group of the Uto-Aztecan family and are related to Northern Paiute. The Western Mono inhabit the pine belt of the Sierra Nevada and have a culture similar to that of the nearby Yokuts. Historically the Eastern and Western Mono traded with one another.
