My great nephew Nathan returned to Yosemite since he was a baby. Even though we visit Yosemite quite often it is harder for some of our other family members to visit, especially those who live further away. This week we took our niece and her family to Yosemite to visit our ancestral homeland and in this photo our great nephew, Nathan, really loved the waters of Tenaya Lake. This is the same place the Mariposa Battalion captured some of the hiding Ahwahneechee at their Tenaya Lake rancheria camp. Tenaya Lake has historical significance to the descendents of Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiutes.
Chief Tenaya was the founder of the Paiute colony of Ahwanhee - Dr. Lafayette H. Bunnell.
