Editor's Note: We received an e-mail from a listener who says the first Native Americans who lived in the area of Yosemite were not Miwoks but Paiutes. We checked several sources. Some sources say the first people in the area were Miwoks. Some say they were Paiutes. Some say members of both tribes lived in the area.
