(Long, Lat)
Description:
Galen Clark recited the legend of Tis-sa'-ack, who entered Yosemite Valley with her husband, carrying a great conical burden-basket. They hurried to the valley for water to slake their thirst. The woman was ahead, and when she reached Lake Ah-wei'-yah (Mirror Lake) she drank all the water before he arrived. He was angry, and beat her. She revisited him and threw her basket at him. And as they faced each other "they were turned into stone for their wickedness, and there they still remain. The upturned basket lies beside the husband where the woman threw it, and the woman's face is tear-stained with long dark lines trailing down. Half Dome is the woman Tis-sa'-ack and North Dome is her husband, while beside the latter is a smaller dome which is still called Basket Dome to this day." (Clark, 87-90) (YNP)
