	Yosemite Indians; Yesterday and Today (1941), "History," by Elizabeth H. Godfrey
		After many years of abandonment, a young and adventurous Indian by the name of Tenaya, who claimed to be a direct descendant of the Chief of the Ahwahneeches, and who had been born and raised among the Monos, decided to return to what he considered his homeland.
		Through carelessness of the guards in charge, tricky Chief Tenaya and his entire people were able to delay their relegation on the Fresno River Reservation by escaping during the night.
		Tenaya was soon joined in his old stamping grounds by other Indians of his tribe who managed to escape from the reservation.

		He was recognized by one of the friendly Indians as Tenaya, the old chief of the Grizzlies, and, after the had been supplied with food, Major Savage, with the aid of Indian interpreters, informed him of the wishes of the Commissioners.
		But the old chief was very suspicious of Savage and feared that he was taking this method of getting the tribe into his power for the purpose of revenging his personal wrong.
		Tenaya expected to be shot for this attempt and when brought into the presence of Captain Boling he said in great emotion, "Kill me, Sir Captain, yes, kill me as you killed my son, as you would kill my people if they were to come to you.

	Yosemite National Park History - History of Yosemite : Tenaya Lodge, California
		Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite owes its name to legendary Chief Tenaya of the Southern Sierra Miwok or "Ahwahneechee" people ("Yosemite" is derived from the Ahwahneechee word for grizzly bear).
		Tenaya was raised among his mother's people, the Mono Lake Paiutes, in the early 19th century; his father was descended from Ahwahneechee chiefs who were among the first humans to live in the Yosemite Valley.
		As a boy, Tenaya listened to tribal storytellers talk of the "deep and grassy valley" that his father was forced to leave when a frontier illness felled his people.

	The Far Side of the Sky - Christopher E. Brennen
		From speech by Chief Tenaya of the Ahwahneechees.
		Tenaya Lake, Creek and Canyon take their name from the shrewd old chief of a band of native Americans who called themselves the Ahwahneechees and were living in Yosemite Valley (which they called Ahwahnee) when the white men first arrived.
		To this day, Yosemite Valley and Tenaya Canyon are haunted by the spirits of the murdered boy and Indians and white men alike tell tales of mysterious accidents and unaccountable deaths which they attribute to the curse of Chief Tenaya.

		In that book he documents that Chief Tenaya was the founder of the Paiute Colony of Ahwahnee, that he spoke Paiute, that his band was primarily Mono Paiute and not Miwok as has been falsely written.
		Yet Lafayette Bunnell wrote that Chief Tenaya was the founder of the PAIUTE Colony of Ahwahne, that Chief Tenaya spoke a PAIUTE jargon, that Chief Tenaya's band was primarily made up of MONO PAIUTES and a few outlaws from (unspecific) western tribes.
		Tenaya was said to like the name "Yosemites" because it brought fear into the heart of his enemies.

		In this remarkable hegira, Chief Joseph led the Nez Perces over half a dozen mountain ranges, through passes that were considered impassable, all the time in strange country, until he reached northern Montana, the old buffalo hunting grounds of the Nez Perces.
		Chief Joseph and his exhausted tribesmen were surrounded by two troops of militia on Snake Creek in the Bear Paw Mountains, within sight almost of freedom.
		Chief Joseph's story is a part of that of the Yellowstone, though his people never lived in the park other than during the brief period when they sought refuge there.

		Chief Tenaya did live in the Valley and in 1851 his tribe was seen as a dangerous presence in the Valley.
		But, in 1853 Chief Tenaya was able to return to the valley--but it was not a serene return and one of his 3 sons was killed.
		She reports it is because of a viral infection that tenayas band contracted ( NPS and BIA poppycock) and she wanted to ultimately prove that the Indians of the valley died from this viral infection and not from the hands of US soldiers.

		Tenaya's band came to be known as "Yosemites," a corruption of "Uzumati," which means grizzly bear, probably called such after the bear clan of Tenaya's Ahwahneechees.
		Tenaya was a prisoner in his own land more than once, but he and his followers were never totally subdued, and they never signed a treaty.
		After an appeal, Tenaya returned to Yosemite and died there, a free man. Tenaya's descendants received allotments for the acreage of the village site, and by 1930, they were living in 15 cabins provided for them by the National Park Service.

	Tenaya
		Buried under an artificial lake, its spectacular groves of trees, meadows, and rock formations obliterated, its teaming wildlife scattered to the winds, the Hetch Hetchy Valley was lost to millions of hikers and campers and the world lost a natural treasure.
		"The Curse of Chief Tenaya" resurrects the Hetch Hetchy Valley in its natural state - to give the reader an image of what was lost, and to plant the seed of what may be once more if the dam were ever removed and the great valley restored.
		His most recent is "The Curse of Chief Tenaya," a novel that subtly furthers his belief that the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir Valley should be un-dammed.

		Yosemite Indian Chief Tenaya was not a Miwok.
		Bunnell writes Tenaya's band was made up of Monos, Paiutes and a handful of outlaws from the western tribes.
		That meant the Paiutes were the Ahwahnees, Ahwahneechees or Yosemites and those handful of outlaws from unnamed tribes were not liked in their own tribe to be considered outlaws.

	Up the river of mercy - history of Yosemite Valley Sierra - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For me the inadvertent climax of the book is a scene at Lake Tenaya, after the old chief and his people have been captured, just before they are marched to a reservation in the flatlands of the San Joaquin Valley.
		Tenaya is a name given from outside, a name that sheds light on neither the lake nor the man unless one knows its pathetic origin.
		I'd passed through the valley only once before, on my way to somewhere else, but for years I'd been working as a landscape historian, and the pictures and literature of Yosemite were familiar to me. Yosemite is a crucible of the American landscape, a catalyst for turning beliefs into tangible effects.
