Tuolumne River - History

History

The Native Americans along the Tuolumne were the Paiutes and Miwoks. The Miwoks lived along the western part of the Tuolumne from Big Oak Flat down to the valley floor, while the Paiutes camped primarily east of that point towards the high Sierra Nevada. The Washoe Indians also visited the area. The Tuolumne River Trust was founded in 1981.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    I saw the Arab map.

    dragging its history like saddlebags,
    nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.
