Valley Floor Nature Walk with
Ranger Phil Johnson
May 2014
“There were people here…long before the Gold Rush had ever occurred. There were people here long before the Yosemite Grant was ever put into action. There were people here long before Yosemite became a National Park in 1890, and the descendants of the original inhabitants are still in the local area today, still carrying on customs and traditions.” – Phil Johnson, Interpretive Park Ranger, Southern Sierra Miwok
Indian Cultural Demonstrator and Interpretive Ranger Phil Johnson retired in 2019. Calling Yosemite his home and birthplace, Phil shared the stories of Native peoples of Yosemite with thousands of visitors throughout his long career.
