Hello, The book on pdf is the account of Dr. Lafayette H. Bunnell, the only person to meet and write about Chief Tenaya of the Ahwahneechees.
Bunnell was the doctor for the Mariposa Battalion who captured Chief Tenaya. Bunnell had a lot of sympathy for Chief Tenaya.
Bunnell's book was put on a pdf file so it would be easy for people to read.
We Mono Paiutes have a problem with Yosemite National Park Service.
It seems very few in Yosemite National Park has ever read this book because if they would they would find something very interesting. That Chief Tenaya's group were mainly Mono Paiutes with a few outlaws from the western tribes and not Miwoks.
Download this pdf file for the truth.
On the tool bar for pdf viewing hit the binoculor symbol that states "search".
In the search box type in these words (not all at once):
"Pai-ute", "Pai-utes", "Paiute", "Paiutes", "Mono", "Monos", "Mono's", "Piute", "Piutes", "jargon", "Ahwahni", "colony". These are Chief Tenaya's band.
Then type in "Indian miners", "Bautista", "Russio", "Vow-chester", "Vow-ches-ter", "Po-to-yan-ti", and "A-wal-a-che". These are the Southern Sierra Miwoks.
This book was written by one of two of the only persons to meet and write about Chief Tenaya and the Yosemite Indians.
Yet the Yosemite National Park Service has the Miwoks as the original Indians of Yosemite and the Mono Paiutes as the visitors.
Yosemite National Park Service is changing and erasing the memory of the real original Indians of Yosemite.
