  • ok Mr Yosemite Native dude you showing that you dont like what my grandmother is saying is telling me you are very disreaspectful and rood so dont hate on the vidoe hate on ur self she is honored and loved by many i bet ur just mad cuz the vidoe isnt all about you well probley cuz ur not good enough to be in one i dont care what you know about the miwoks all i know is you nedd to slow ur roll and get over yourself btw no one cares about wat ur wife

  • And I am a direct descendant of Old Austin!..Not Yokut,as your people try to tell me..How can I trust your words when you can't even get that right?...I am Miwok..there are not many of us,but then again,there doesn't have to be to refute your assertions!...At one time,you said I was Mexican,remember?...so according to you I am Mexican and Yokut!......Translate this into Mexican or Paiute then,Kyowi yelok oyana awo!

  • Yosemite was once the true homeland of the Uto-Aztecan warrior Paiute people, and not the Miwok. The Miwok were only the workers for the Park.

  • you really dont have any clue of what your'e talking about. You really "disliked" an native elder's biography and you feel as if what you read in a book is true about what someone else's life. You must be one ignorant person to feel as if you must correct her on her life. so much of your information is wrong that even the amount of chilren is incorrect. even on the video it at least tells you that. helen is a very strong native woman that is an idol to me and many other people in this world.

  • At Sherman Indian school Helen Hogan-Coates was a Paiute, and now she is a Miwok?

  • "His wife Hazel, who was raised by John and Lucy Telles, died in 1944. They had a son and two daughters. Delbert, the son, died in 1944. Helen married a man by the name of Coats, and they had three children, Jack, Alveta, and Lisa. Henry worked for the Yosemite National Park sanitation crew for many years. They own a home near Whispering Pines, Mariposa County. His wife Hazel was born 1909, near Mono Lake, her last name unknown. John and Lucy Telles gave her their name."

  • From the book The Ahwahneechees by Yosemite ranger John Bingman.

  • I thought Jack was a Cherokee? There was no such thing as Yosemite Miwuks. Helen's grandmother was not Lucy Telles. Helen's mother Hazel was an orphan from Mono Lake and taken in by Lucy Telles.
