	Ishi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ishi is believed to be the last Native American in Northern California to have lived the bulk of his life completely outside the European American culture.
		Eventually Ishi's mother and other companions died, and he was discovered by a group of butchers in their corral at Oroville on August 29, 1911.
		This conclusion was based on a comparative study of Ishi's arrowheads, and indicates that he may have learned this skill from a male relative from the Wintu or Nomalki tribes that lived in close proxmity to the Yahi lands, though they were traditionally enemies.

	The Ishi-Kroeber Case
		Ishi's tribe had been massacred when he was a child, and he lived with a few surviving family members hiding all his life from the white people, continuing the hunting and gathering stone-age culture of the Yanan speakers that inhabited the Sacramento Valley until they were exterminated during the gold rush.
		Ishi's story "was born" that day under a Venus/Nessus aspect that reveals the fragile and gentle nature of a man that had been torn apart by the hostility of the whites, who invaded his territory and murdered his kin, but who nevertheless never showed any type of resentment towards them.
		That the story of Ishi is an essential part of that identity is confirmed by the feelings it is able to evoke in the public, mainly through the work of Theodore Kroeber (and the resulting movie) and her husband, one of the "fathers" of American Anthropology.

	ISHI: A Real-Life Last Of The Mohicans
		Ishi's mother, "sister", and the elderly man. This small remnant of the 40 Yahi had been hiding for years, eluding capture or detection by living in their cunningly hidden settlement like trapped animals.
		Ishi reasoned they had either drowned during their desperate escape, or had been eaten by one of the numerous predators in the back country.
		Miraculously, Ishi survived the death sentence of 1908.

	Ishi's Bow at the Phoebe Hearst Museum
		Ishi selected the wood, seasoned it, shaped it, chewed the animal tissue for the backing and applied that in thin layers, made a string out of more animal sinew, and finally strung the bow.
		Ishi spent some time making artifacts at the museum, and when he went back to Deer Creek with the anthropologists in 1914 for a field trip he showed them how he selected and shaped the materials in his homeland.
		Ishi's people had been massacred repeatedly by the white settlers until he was the only one left, yet he showed no bitterness.

	DAYBREAK - Who Was Ishi?: A Source of Surprise, Humility and Humanity
		Ishi's tribe, thought to be the Yahi, lived in a region east of present-day Redding and Red Bluff and north of Oroville.
		Ishi does not seem to have been part of this campsite encounter, although the day before, he may have been the Indian seen on nearby Sulphur Creek trying to spear fish -- and the one who fired an arrow at one of the men who came back to investigate.
		Ishi died on March 25, 1916 and was cremated along with a bow, five arrows and other personal treasures.

	Early Ethnography (12 of 17)
		This is one of a group of fourteen lantern slides of Ishi, the last surviving member of the Yano [Yahi] Indians.
		Ishi was "discovered" in August 1911 and he soon became an irresistible subject for anthropologists such as Alfred Kroeber.
		Theodora Kroeber noted, "Ishi was photographed so frequently and so variously that he became an expert on matters of lighting, posing, and exposure.

	DAYBREAK - Ishi Laid to Rest, But His Story Doesn't Die
		In 1916, Ishi died of tuberculosis in a bed in the old UC Hospital.
		While it was well-known that Ishi's ashes were placed in Olivet Memorial Cemetery in Colma, the mystery of the brain and its storage for eight decades at the Smithsonian was not solved until Rockafellar's report, which included some embarrassing truths and lessons.
		But Ishi was perhaps more valued as an informant, scientific specimen and anthropological treasure than as a wonderful human being, says Rockafellar, who feels it is her role -- and that of other historians -- to amend and retell Ishi's story.

	Ishi's Brain: In Search of America's Last "Wild" Indian
		Ishi's Brain is a first-person account by anthropologist Orin Starn, who sought to unravel the mystery of Ishi's life and death and to locate his brain in the archives of the Smithsonian museum in the hope of finally repatriating Ishi's remains.
		After Ishi died in 1916 of tuberculosis, his brain, the literal and symbolic centerpiece of the book, was preserved against his wishes that he not have an autopsy.
		Ishi was thought to be the last surviving member of the Yahi tribe, although later research indicated that he was likely of mixed blood--perhaps Yana or Maidu.

		Ishi, whose life story was first described in the popular book Ishi in Two Worlds by Theodora Kroeber (1961, University of California Press), died of tuberculosis on March 25, 1916.
		Ishi had comfortable, permanent living quarters at the San Francisco museum, where he enjoyed a longer and healthier life than he would have if he had been sent to an Indian reservation, Foster contends.
		Ishi made it clear to Waterman, Kroeber, and others from the beginning that he didn't want to talk about his family or his feelings about what had happened to them.

	Ishi — Infoplease.com
		Evidence pointed that Ishi was the last surviving member of the Yahi, a tribe that may have had as many as 20,000 people in the previous century.
		Ishi was taken in by Alfred Kroeber and Thomas Waterman, two anthropologists at the University of California, who learned to communicate with him and eagerly extracted the details of Yahi life, language, and culture from him.
		Ishi's entrance into the “civilized” world was also the cause of his death, as he contracted tuberculosis and died in 1916.

	02.05.96 - Ishi apparently wasn't the last Yahi, according to new evidence from UC Berkeley research archaeologist
		Ishi was born into an extended family that, in order to perpetuate life, was forced to intermarry with outsiders, with enemies, said Shackley, and one of Ishi's parents may have been Wintu or Nomlaki.
		Ishi was given a home at the University of California's anthropology museum -- then on the UCSF campus in an old law school building.
		Ishi formed close friendships with Waterman and Kroeber and with Saxton Pope, a teacher at the university's medical school, which was next door to the museum.

	NMNH - Repatriation Office - The Repatriation of Ishi, the last Yahi India
		The NMNH committed in March of 1999 to return the brain of Ishi to his descendants at the Redding Rancheria and Pit River Indian Tribe of California, and held it until they could recover cremated remains from the cemetery in Colma, California, where they were held by a private mortuary.
		The notion that Ishi was the "last of his people" comes from the fact that Ishi was the last known Yana to live a life essentially outside of direct contact with whites.
		Ishi and an unknown number of Yahi-Yana remained in their traditional homeland in Tehama County (Deer and Mill Creeks) by avoiding direct contact with settlers.

		Ishi was lucky to be recognized as an anthropological find by the staff (Waterman & Kroeber) at the University of California at Berkley.
		Ishi wasn’t too much different than us, except for the fact that he relied on his weapons and tools for survival, until he came to civilization.
		Ishi liked obsidian most, but he was known to use flint, agate, plateglass, brown bottle glass and blue Milk of Magnesia bottles for his working materials.

	Ishi, the Last Yahi
		Even if Ishi had shared his private memories, I am fairly sure the newspapers would not have dared to print the truth for fear of offending their white readers.
		Another reason for the media's portrayal of Ishi as a savage was the popular concept of the "White Man's Burden." Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem in 1899 that warned of the cost of imperialism (Zwick).
		An example of Kroeber's initial attitude towards Ishi is in the telegram he sent to the noted linguist Edward Sapir on September 6, 1911: "Have totally wild Indian at the museum.

	ISHI
		Ishi was the last member of the Yahi tribe in Northern California, who wandered dazed and emaciated into Oroville in 1911.
		(Ishi’s arrowheads are among the finest in the collection at the Lowie Museum.) Luthin writes of the irony of Ishi being regarded as a “natural man”, when in truth he and his fellow Yahi who had survived terrifying American atrocities, lived in an unnatural manner, even while hiding in a natural wilderness for decades.
		Ironically, Ishi may have had the most stress-free existence as a captive of the Americans for five years, in which, thanks to Kroeber and his other friends, he no longer suffered the anguish of running, hiding and worrying about being captured and put to death by Americans as happened to so many of his tribesmen.

	Ishi Rediscovered (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The fact that the man who came to be known as “Ishi” was the last known free Indian in North America, and that he lived the last of his days during the twentieth century in San Francisco, lends considerable intrigue to the story.
		For example, one biographer had written that Ishi was in a state of starvation when he was captured in Oroville, California in 1911.
		Burrill asks his father, who is a medical doctor, to examine the well known photograph taken of Ishi the day after his capture, and the doctor describes in detail why the photo does not reveal a man in a state of starvation.

		As Kroeber and other Ishi chroniclers have noted, an autopsy was performed on Ishi's body, and his brain was preserved for further study, in keeping with scientific practices common in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		With Ishi, as with Peruvian village culture, you have indigenous people who, against the odds, managed to survive and were trying to define their identities in a way that comes to terms with new technology while maintaining their own cultural identities.
		And he notes that details cited in Kroeber's account of Ishi's arrival in Oroville have been contradicted by an eyewitness who came forward after her book appeared and gave a different report about such particulars as the time of day when Ishi was found and the way he was dressed.

		It was Ishi's luck to be guided into his new life by two anthropologists, T.T. Waterman and Alfred Kroeber, although neither man would be able to protect him from his immediate notoriety as the last wild Indian of North America.
		It was from Ishi that Californians would hear about those last decades of the 19th century, when the already diminished Yahi tribe found itself under attack and pressed in by white settlers who'd come West looking for bright dust with their murderous fire sticks.
		Ishi was not, as myth has it, the last Indian in America; he was an example of the Indian who survives.
