Walk through a reconstructed Indian Village offering outdoor displays about the culture and lives of the Ahwahneechee inhabitants of Yosemite Valley. Signs along the path will introduce you to the structures in the village and the plants used by native people. This reconstruction is located on the former site of the largest Indian village in Yosemite Valley. The bark houses, ceremonial roundhouse, sweathouse, pounding rocks, cabin, acorn granaries, and chief's house are representative of the structures found in a Sierra Nevada Miwok village during the late nineteenth century. Today the village is still actively used by members of the local American Indian community for ceremonies and special gatherings. Seasonal Information Open year-round, 24 hours a day. Accessibility A short, partially paved loop trail winding through the Indian Village has displays that incorporate audio buttons. The village's central area is level but unpaved.
