Since time immemorial, Indigenous people lived in the land now called Yosemite National Park. This brief volume tells of the peoples' unbroken connection to their homeland, relating a history not only of injustice and injury, but also one of resiliency and resolve.
Through the stories and photos in this booklet, readers will discover:
an introduction to culturally diverse peoples in times of change
never-before-published memories of growing up in twentieth-century Yosemite Valley as shared by Elders
the local impacts of the Termination Era and the establishment of national parks
and the importance of the Indian Cultural Center
Proceeds from the sale of this booklet directly support ongoing programs, the building of structures, and long-term operations of Wahhoga Village.
