When all hope was lost, the land become barren, and food was scarce for the native tribe of the Yosemite Valley, the Great Spirit took pity on the plight of her people. Stooping down from high, she spread her hands over the valley. The regrowth of new life poured forth over the land; trees blossomed, flowers bloomed, birds sang. Then she struck a mighty blow against the mountains and they broke apart, leaving a pathway for the melting snow to flow through. The water swirled and washed down upon the land, spilling over rocks, pooling into a lake and then wandering afar to spread life to other places. A new land flourished in the valley and the people came back to their home.
