  • Paiutes are Uto-Aztecan and Miwoks are Pentunian. Not the same.

  • The Miwok chief was named Bautista or Vowchester. He was a friend of Major James Savage, the man who tracked down the Chief Tenaya and his people with the Mariposa Battalion.

  • Nice footage. Here is the real story.

    The Ahwahneechee had become a tribe distinct from the other tribes in the area. Lafayette Bunnell, the doctor of the Mariposa Battalion, wrote that "Ten-ie-ya was recognized, by the Mono tribe, as one of their number, as he was born and lived among them until his ambition made him a leader and founder of the Pai-Ute colony in Ah-wah-ne."

    There is no such thing as Yosemite Miwoks. The original Native people of Yosemite are Paiutes. But nice video.
