[edit] User:AndrewDouglas1's post

1) The existing text in the first paragraph: Chief Tenaya (?-1853) was a Native American chief in the Yosemite Valley people in California. Tenaya's father was the chief of the Ahwahneechee [1], which means "people of the Ahwahnee" (Yosemite Valley). The Ahwahneechees were a totally different tribe then any other surrounding tribes.

There is a typing (spelling) error, it should read:

i.e. the THEN should be a THAN

2) The existing text in the second paragraph: The Ahwahneechee occupied Yosemite Valley until a sickness destroyed most of them. The few Ahwahneechee left Yosemite Valley and joined the Mono Lake Paiutes in the eastern Sierra Nevada. Tenaya's father married a Mono Paiute woman and Tenaya was born from that union. Tenaya grow up amongst his mothers people and married a Mono Paiute woman and had several children.

i.e the GROW should be GREW
