[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.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Bill Bolton page 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill Bolton page 2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
