"Yosemite Legends" by Bertha H. Smith is a collection of Native American folklore and mythology, written in the early 20th century. This book explores the rich tapestry of stories associated with the Yosemite Valley and its indigenous people, focusing on the legends that explain the natural world and the cultural heritage of the Ah-wah-nee-chees tribe. Through these narratives, it captures the essence of the wilderness and the spiritual beliefs of the Native American people connected to these lands. In "Yosemite Legends," the author presents a series of captivating tales that delve into the relationships between the Ah-wah-nee-chees and various natural elements in Yosemite. Each legend offers insights into the environment, featuring characters like Tu-tock-ah-nu-lah, the Rock Chief, and Tis-sa-ack, the Goddess of the Valley, whose stories highlight themes of love, loss, and the fight against the encroaching threats of the outside world. The legends reveal the cultural significance of landmarks such as Bridal Veil Falls (Po-ho-no) and the trials of figures like Chief Ten-ie-ya, weaving a narrative that emphasizes both the beauty of nature and the struggles faced by the Native American tribes. The illustrations complement the text, enriching the reader's understanding of Yosemite's legendary landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.) en Yosemite Valley (Calif.)
