	Miwok Information
		The Coast Miwok Indians, who lived in what is now Marin County, reached the island with boats made from tule reeds.
		The Miwok had an animistic philosophy: they wanted no walls and trod lightly on the land, leaving no footsteps, always apologizing to the spirits in animals or nature whenever they disturbed them in whatever fashion.
		Galls from oak trees were chewed as their toothpaste, tea from iris bulbs was used for kidney stones, acorn mush was set aside to age and the mildew-like substance that resulted was scraped off and used like penicillin.

		Archeologists hypothesize that the Coast Miwok Indians inhabited the Peninsula for at least 5,000 years until the late 18th century when they were enslaved by Spain and forced to work in Spanish missions.
		The Miwoks had a rich cultural heritage that included basket-making, dances and ceremonies, and a complex and intricate language.
		In spring, the Miwok diet consisted of harvested buckeye nuts that were boiled, mashed and leached; fresh, native clover; the sweet sap of the fl or white oaks; and the honey of wild bees.

	Miwok Language and the Miwok Indian Tribe (Miwuk, Miwoc, Mewoc, Mewuk)
		There are seven dialects of Miwok which are so distinct from one another that most linguists consider them to be multiple languages, but since three of them are no longer spoken and the other four are spoken by fewer than a dozen elders apiece, they are usually discussed together.
		The Miwok languages are highly endangered, but some young Miwoks are working to learn their ancestral tongues again.

		One of the practices that the Miwok took on from the original inhabitants of the Valley was an annual trek to the higher, even more remote backcountry to the east of the Yosemite Valley, which they called the Ah-wah-nee.
