Building the Wahoga Roundhouse

We’re honoring thousands of years of American Indian history in Yosemite by supporting the continued construction of a roundhouse where the Wahoga Village, the last American-Indian settlement in Yosemite Valley, once stood. Once complete, it will allow for ongoing spiritual and traditional practices amongst Yosemite’s tribal communities.

Why I Give

Although we live in Ohio, we visit Yosemite several times a year, as it continues to refresh our lives. We support the Conservancy, for we value its mission to preserve and enhance Yosemite today and for future generations.
