The National Park Service has just announced that the old (destroyed 40 years ago) Miwuk village in Yosemite Park is going to be rebuilt.
So far, in a project that started almost ten years ago, the village roundhouse foundation has been rebuilt. Construction was stopped in 2011 due to "safety" concerns and the Miwuks had to demonstrate compliance with building codes. Once it is done the village will be open at least to some extent to visitors but is essentially intended to be an actual resident to natives who work in and around the park.
Archaeologists say that the Miwuks have lived in the Yosemite Valley for at least 7,000 years.
