Yosemite Mono Lake Paiute - Native American Indians

Dedicated to the original Native Americans of Yosemite, Mono Lake and Hetch Hetchy, the Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiute people. Every photo is of Paiutes in Yosemite. Chief Tenaya, who was born at Mono Lake, took several hundred of our people to live in Yosemite. There Chief Tenaya established the Paiute Colony of Ahwahnee after many of the original Ahwahnees died of a diease that was brought to this land. I also want to thank Gayle Hansen-Johnson for her beautiful singing. If you ever find her CD, buy it or you can contact her at ghansonjohnson@yahoo.com for cd informatio
