Ship details

SCG To-tu-ya, a Faulcon-Delacy Anaconda, is named as a tribute to To-tu-ya/Maria Lebrado Ydrte, the last survivor of the Mariposa Battalion attack that took place in Yosemite more than 2500 years ago, and the Ahwahneechee people indigenous to the Yosemite valley. Loosely translated, To-tu-ya means "foaming waters," and like a river foaming as it rolls toward the sea, SCG To-tu-ya pushes ever outward into the black. This ship carries with it the memory of To-tu-ya and every Native American who found their way of life and even their lives cast aside in favor of expansion. Where SCG To-tu-ya flies, I hope that the memory of the tribe flies too. And as the ship goes on its journeys, I hope it does so in a way that honors whatever life it may find wherever those journeys lead.
