Lost Arrow History
Lost Arrow, the tall spire East of "Cho-lak" (Yosemite Falls), remembers the young Ah-wah-nee-chee chief "Kos-su-kah" who fell to his death in a rockslide as he loosed the successful hunt signal arrow to his lover "Tee-Tee-nay". Her people from the tribe went searching with her up Indian Canyon, East of Lost Arrow, to help her find him. When she found his body her grief was so great she died of a broken heart. The signal arrow was never found, having been spirited away by the reunited lovers to El-o-win as a memento of their unfaltering love. And in memory of the beautiful maiden and the noble chief, the slender spire of granite, still standing there near the spot where Kos-su-kah's body was found, has ever since been known to the sons and daughters of Ah-wah-nee, as "Hum-mo", or the lost arrow.
