Beautiful set. Part of the water supply for California
People have inhabited the Hetch Hetchy Valley for more than 6,000 years. Early American Indian cultures were prominent long before the first European Americans arrived in the 1850s. The modern valley name is derived from the Miwok word hatchhatchie, which means “edible grasses.” Native place names are still used for other features in the valley, including Tueeulala Falls, Wapama Falls, Kolana Rock, and the Tuolumne River.
Many groups of people used resources from this area, some also gathering here for trading. The valley offered a year-round water supply, mild winter weather, good hunting and fishing, and abundant acorns and edible plants.
