Yosemite Indian Field Days was an annual summer event held in Leidig Meadow of Yosemite Valley 1916-1929. Prizes were awarded for rodeo events and to native basket weavers and beaders.

Souvenirs and ephemera from these events are nearly non-extant. 

1929 would be the last celebration and exhibit of local Native artistry.
