Tutokanula

The Ahwahneechee name for the rock we now call El Capitan
is Tutokanula. Ahwahneechee legend tells how El Capitan was
created in the time of the animal people. As two bear cubs
slept on a large flat rock near the river, the rock grew until
the bears scratched their faces against the moon. The mother
bear called on all the animals to rescue her babies, but none
succeeded until the lowly inchworm (tutokanula) crawled
slowly to the top and led the cubs safely down.
