[edit] Miwok change
Can you please explain why you keep changing the very explicit "miwok" to the very generic & not very informative "native american" in the Yosemite National Park article? I'm baffled. Elf | Talk 21:53, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
I am a Yosemite Indian. Most people believe that Yosemite Indians were Miwoks, but the majority of the Yosemite Indians were actually Paiute.
If you read the "Discussion" I have added the proof where Bunnell writes that Chief Tenaya, himself, stated that Tenaya's father was from a total different tribe of Indians then any in the surrounding area. In other words he was not Miwok, Paiute, Washo, Maidu, or Yokut.
So as a Yosemite Indian who knowns our peoples real background it should be designated as "Native American".
- Thanks. I'm glad you decided to pick a user name; communication is so much easier and you no longer look like a random "vandal". It's interesting, the difference of info--I believe that most of this came from either the brochures at yosemite park or the yosemite park history sites. You'd think they'd know-- Elf | Talk 17:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
The problem with the brochures[1] that were done by the Yosemite Park service are actually wrong. The person who has been in charge of the Yosemite Musuem,[2] Indian research, and Yosemite library was married to Miwok women and has a son with her. He has been in charge of that department for 30 years and we believe that his research is biased towards the Miwok point of view instead of using the original written accounts.
If you scroll down on this site you will see the Yosemite Indian expert dressed in Miwok regalia.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cui-ui.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.
