Yosemite Indian Chiefs.

From the Pony Express Periodical that dealt with Gold Mining History and Western Pioneer accounts. The Pony Express was published from the town of Sonora in Tuolumne County and dealt with all aspects of Mariposa, Tuolumne and other mining areas, plus early pioneer life through out the west

Here is the transcribed version of the story of the original Yosemite Indians that appeared in the periodical on March 1956. The Pony Express had many more references to Yosemite Indians being Paiutes, and not just this one.

YOSEMTIE INDIANS ARE
OUTLAW PIUTES

Camp Barbour in 1851 produced
the great frontiersman. Major
James D. Savage, leader of the
Mariposa Battalion, who with
Andrew D. Firebaugh, chased out-
law Piute Indians back into Yose-
mite Valley, which led to its dis-
covery. It is obvious they were
not Miwoks and Diggers. They
were peaceful, certainly not war-
like enough to go out raiding Fort
Barbour (later Fort Miller) built
with soldiers armed with cap and ball
muskets. Also, this is refuted by
the testimony of veteran David
Williamson to the Pony Express
the late Williamson (born at Fort
Churchill in the 1860s) whose
father was an army officer, was
told differently by Johnny Calico,
son of Chief Winnemucca. Johnny
as a kid in 1860, witnessed White
Man's route up the Truckee River
from Lake Pyramid, in the so-
called battle of Lake Pyramid
which was not a "battle" but a
very fast route, so fast as the
soldiers could get away on horse-
back. His father told him that
all unruly renegades in the tribe
(The Piutes had no jails) had
been exiled for generations over
the mountains west of the big
lake (which was Mono Lake).
So there are your tough out-law
Yosemite Indians that Savage and
Firebaugh chased with their Mari-
posa Battalion in 1851.

*They were renegade Paiutes. The common people of the Mono Paiutes bragged about their exploits. They were like Robin Hood in their eyes. Chief Tenaya's band was made up of Paiutes from different bands. They were a warrior renegade band and not docile Miwoks.

*There is a town called Firebaugh that now exists in the area.

Here is the actual article;

The Yosemite Indians were outlaw Paiutes.

 josephcounseling - Do us a favor and cut and paste ur ad else were.  respect the blog and its blogers who want to comment on topics. ur add has nothing to do with  this site.

 ALSO PLEASE IF YOU RESPOND PLEASE POST WERE WE ALL COULD READ WRITING IN INDIAN DOESNT HELP ANYONE HERE.

Hali Saha to you too my dear!

But apart from that, and a fire in my hat, it's been a very nice day!

Many of these men and women seen in the photographs were small pox survivors, and weak from starvation.

The American Indians were hunted down like animals, as the men had died during the Indian Wars, all that were left were  sickly Indian men, and women and children.

The would capture an Indian or kill him then pose him for a photograph as a memorial of their venture, I assure you this man left worse off  than before he met these men.

This is all racial crap, and I assume he who wrote this blog was unaware of what these scumbags had done. These pictures are not the true state of the California Indians at that time.

According to a history book taught in the local schools at that time 1800's American Indians were not human but a humanoid. Sub-human if you will.

They make great figures of their victories, a weak man is a God and killed thousands of white man, it makes a greater victory to say these things considering, the California Indians were over run by fleeing plains Indians and their tribes from the desolation's and disease which the white man brought them.

Disease killed off the American Indians not the John Wayne characters, the Indians fought so well it caused the Americana Government to make peace treaty's which many today wished did not exist.

Indians get free medical.

free clothing.

free food if needed.

free housing if needed.

And by the order of the constitution they do not have to pay taxes of any kind. But they pay them not knowing any better. I expect re reimbursement for about $568,000. when my case heads to federal court.

Many racist see this as though the American Indians are sponging of Amer cans........not so, you are paying a debt owed forever!

Just so everyone knows these birthrights apply only if you live on the reservation, if you leave its not given.

The American Indians still suffer this day, Haiti is nothing compared, though Americans Indians are spiritual people and would like you to give to the suffering of Haitians. 

The American Indians will continue to suffer because of the greedy politicians who have robbed the American Indians of billions of dollars, yet congress takes their time to get that money paid BACK!

From these pictures you can see the bumps on this mans body, those bumps are the remains of smallpox, he survived.

My great,great grandfather died of the small pox, with my great,great grandmother. Many years After the trail of tears.

Don't fool yourself into thinking small pox is gone, it can easily spread again with massive death tolls.

It was never killed off, it went into peridition which can return again.

Wayne2008- Your  so right!! White man stole everything they could from the Native American's. I'm "CHEROKEE".  My great grandfather lived on the reservation in OK.  He passed at the age of 105. Still lived on the reservation, only spoke "CHEROKEE" My great-Aunts & Uncles were taken from the reservation and sent to White man school. There White man cut there hair, changed their names to "White man names", they couldn't speak their native language or practice their native ways. If they were caught speaking their native tongue or practicing their native ways, they would be punished. But people also forget that the "CHEROKEE'S" have our own alphabet and language.  Wonder what would of happen to the U.S. if they didn't use the Native American's in their White man wars? "WIND-TALKERS" or  "CODE-TALKERS". Thank-the Great Spirit 
for these brave warriors.

Hi Misery56,

Weren't "The People" in Avatar modeled after the Native American culture to a large extent?

The army forced most of the Cherokee's to Oklahoma during the trail of tears, where many of the old died off. Then once in Oklahoma which was supposed to be the Nation of All American Indians ended up being taken over once again once Oil and other commodities were found.

The Cherokee Nation itself sits upon a lot of beautiful country rich with minerals and with lush forests and vegetation.

The Cherokee Nation has its own Government,industries and create their own jobs, the only problem they have is with the incursion of the U.S. Government stealing funds set aside from the peace treaties.  And also land giveaways, which the lands were taken back in 1900s are now sold for a million dollars which normally would be worth billions. About like a box of beads for Manhatton Island. Cherokee's never agreed, they have government shills who are white that make the deals for the rich.

Is the number one victim of spam?

With advancement in Penile Enlargement Surgery and other Penile Lengthening methods, most of people are now blessed with good sexual relationship. But now the question and controversy, of course, is whether the Penus Surgery methods are really effective. The physicians who are promoting these procedures claim that the penis may increase in length from 1 to 3 inches, with the average being 2 inches. Using the same techniques, the physicians who claim poor results suggest no more than 1/4 inch is gained in length in most patients. The truth, as often is the case, lies somewhere in the middle. The controversy is probably not whether the penis is actually lengthened, but there are also some risks associated with Penile lengthening Surgery. Thus, it is important to discuss all important aspect of penile augmentation surgery.

Beautiful ... thanks ... were so fortunate to have lived in this magnificent natural valley time, even the letter they had there. Every time I visit, I can still feel his presence in the mountains and streams. A very sacred place.

remained behind in Georgia, refusing to leave on The Trail of Tears. The split in the tribe is something most do not want to speak about because of the political implications; suffice to say, there was some intrigue by those who 'supported' the government in Washington and those people got to stay and keep their land...Great-great Grandma backed the ones who stayed and she got to keep her land.

I found this out when I did the geneaology research on my Dad's family. Irish and Cherokee - great combination...

But why do you need sheet music when you can easily find musical notations at sites on how to play? easy piano sheet music easy piano sheet music Sheet
music is essential as you will find it difficult to get whole books
that have the musical notations in them for lengthy pieces. Books are
expensive too and they are not easily found with the exact pieces that
you want to learn to play. Music reading can also be done by
beginners as it can help increase their recognition of the notes and
their location on the keyboard. Sheet music will also help beginner
players to understand the notes and the sound of the note. It's like
having an imaginary piano playing in your head as you read the sheet. honeywell humidifier honeywell humidifier

Around Yosemite the Park uses the Southern Sierra Miwuks to OK digging projects and dig up Indian sites and graves. They find obsidian from Paiute Mono Lake, but claim it was 'traded' when they actually were warring.

Wayne's and indian outlaw. Half Cherokee and Chocktaw. His baby she's a Chippawahaaaaaw. She's a one of a kind.

The first art exhibit in Yosemite Valley was held in 1878 by Lady Constance Frederica Gordon-Cumming, a travel writer from a wealthy Scottish relatives. Lady Gordon-Cumming taught herself how to paint, and had help from prominent artists visiting her home. He travelled the world, mostly the Pacific and Asia, and often alone.

The Merced River can mean different things to different people, in part depending upon where in Yosemite National Park they view it. In the Yosemite Valley, the river is both a raging cataract and a placid stream. The Merced is a place to gather along the shoreline for a picnic, or to float down the middle of it in a tube or raft on a lazy summer's day. Abstract:  The Merced River can mean different..

It is an interesting approach. I often see nothing exceptional views on the subject, but yours is written in a very unusual. No doubt I will get back to your website for additional information.

Here are some free versions of s Dr. Lafayette H. Bunnell "The discovery of the Indians of Yosemite, 1851 and the war that prompted the case, if you prefer to read the book online without having to download the PDF file. You can find the same information on the Paiutes, Pah-tos, Piute, Piute Yosemite Mono and Tuolumne Superior.

The information contained in Yosemite is incorrect on the Indians of Yosemite. 1. Chief Tenaya was 1 / 2 Paiute Ahwahnee and half. Later, in 1853 the Ahwahneechees were decimated and the survivors were assimiliated in Mono Lake Paiutes. So the real Indians Monkey Yosemite Lake Paiutes. That story was explained in Yosemite. 2. Most baskets are wrong when they were identified as Miwok Paiute. We know the names and are Paiutes. 3. The place is historically incorrect if they have a bad tribal affiliation and the baskets and the Indians are missidentified.
