Wassama Roundhouse

Wassama Roundhouse

The Wassama Roundhouse is a California Native American ceremonial roundhouse, a reconstruction built in 1985 upon the location of four previous such houses. Originally dating prior to the 1860s, the roundhouses served as the focal point of spiritual and ceremonial life for many Native Californians. In 1903, the third roundhouse was built using portions of the center pole from the two earlier houses.

The Wassama Roundhouse (California Historical Landmark #1001) is located in Wassama Roundhouse State Historic Park, just south of Yosemite National Park.
