Yalisumni is a former Nisenan settlement in El Dorado County, California.[1] It was located near Salmon Falls on the south side of the South Fork of the American River; its precise location is unknown.[1]
It was a source of workers for John Sutter's New Helvetia settlement, located in present-day Sacramento between Yalisumni and another Nisenan settlement, Pujuni.[2][3]
