On a less sunny note, The New York Times posted an eye-opening opinion piece that uses the name change to the Majestic Yosemite Hotel as a springboard to discuss other names assigned to this and other parks.  The issues raised are unrelated to food, restaurants or other topics within the scope of these forums, so I won't try to post a link.  If anyone wants to read some sordid history, go look for "Goodbye, Yosemite.  Hello, What?" on the NYT's web site.

 

Well, they do talk about the burgers, ha. 

 

I had read this article. Using an Indian name doesn't mean using it in a real or respectful manner, that is all too true. And there's a lot of shameful history with some of this stuff. :(
