The natives of the Yosemite Valley area belonged to the Miwok group, which is not a tribe but a group of related tribes speaking similar languages (miwok means "people"). The term Yosemite comes from the word Ühümati, a grizzly bear and the natives living in the valley are generally referred to as Yosemite Indians (not their own name for themselves).
Because of the scarce Natural Resources, particularly foodstuffs, in that region, the natives generally lived in very small hunting groups living on every available food source: acorns, fish, game, birds and so on.
