The United States Congress established Yosemite as one of the first National Parks in 1890.

The word ‘Yosemite’ is taken from the First Americans word: Uzumate which means grizzly bear. White Europeans called the people who lived in this amazing place: Yosemites.

When we were living in California we made sure we visited this fantastic National Park.

I fly this flag to remind everyone that if we expect that our grandkids will have a chance to see ‘America’s Best Idea’ we need to protect it now.
