Fascinating and so sad. It brought back memories of my parents, in the late 50’s, taking me to the Wisconsin Dells. We took a boat one evening down a small waterway, there were Native American villages on the banks- and at one point a Indian man on one cliff was singing “Indian Love Call” to a women on the opposite bank. This is so pre Disney. I remember it like it was yesterday. At the souvenir shop, I was allowed to buy a beautiful Indian doll. I treasured that doll so much! This is so like what you describe happening here in Yosemite. I’m embarrassed how clueless we were and are still. You are doing such great work- educating us all! 🙏
