YOSEMITE MONO LAKE PAIUTES PART 5

This is a slide show documenting the Yosemite Mono Lake Paiutes of Yosemite National Park and their connection to the Fitzwater 1962 sewer plant built on top of an ancient Paiute Cemetery. In 1962 Fitzwater excavated this area for a sewer plant for Yosemite National Park. Fitzwater excavated 23 full burial bundles and now there is no record or location of these Native American Remains. It seems the National Park Service has no location of the 23 full burial bundles and can not seem to locate them. However the Yosemite National Park Service has allowed the non profit Southern Sierra Miwoks to claim the Culturally Unidentified items from this excavation. The Inventory sheets of Native American Indian remains does state from the National Park Service Officials these remains and items could not be Miwok since they were deposited prior to the Miwoks arrival to the area.( cc; federal government )
