- The Story of Chief Tenaya

Bag om Great Spirit of Yosemite

Now in his old age, Chief Tenaya’s life and the lives in his tribe are changed forever... In the Mariposa Indian War of 1850/51, the venerable Chief Tenaya is catapulted into leading his people into conflict against white man’s plunder of their land and culture during the California Gold Rush.
