description: A Yosemite Indian Legend that tells how the great rock, now called El Capitan, grew to be the tallest rock in the Yosemite Valley of California; how tul-tok-a-na, the tiny inch worm, was able to rescue two small Indian boys who were stranded on top. By accepting his handicaps and succeeding in spite of them, Tul-tok-a-na, of small stature, proves that he can be a doer and achiever in a world dominated by others much more powerful and capable--a comforting thought for children to carry with them as they face the difficult task of growing up, and the need to achieve and be found worthy.
