"Mariposa Indian Encampment, Yosemite Valley, California" by Albert Bierstadt, ca. 1872Chief George Dick
The Ahwahnechee or Ahwahneechee are a Native American people who traditionally lived in the Yosemite Valley and still live in the surrounding area. They are the seven tribes of Yosemite Miwok, Northern Paiute, Kucadikadi Mono Lake people. As one of the most documented tribes, the tribe still fights for federal recognition. The Ahwahnechee people's heritage can be found all over Yosemite National Park.[1][2][3]
The anglicizations of their name from the 19th century have included Ahwahnechee (by Hittell in 1868), Awalache (by Johnston in 1851), Awallache (by McKee in 1851), and Awanee (by Powers in 1874).[4]
