	Yahi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Yahi were a group of Native Americans who lived in Northern California in the Northern Sierra Nevada, on the western side of the range.
		The Yahi are closely related to the Yana, or may have been a subgroup of the Yana.
		The word Yahi means person in the Yahi language, which is a sublanguage of the Yana language.

		Although the Yahi had successfully avoided relocation, their numbers had been decimated by frequent skirmishes with vigilantes.
		At the turn of the century, the Yahi were popularly characterized as a Stone Age culture.
		After the Gold Rush, as they were dispossessed from their land and their way of life disrupted, the Yahi began to adopt new materials and tools: glass supplanted obsidian for arrowpoints, cotton fabric was used for clothing and utensils, iron nails formed the points of salmon spears and awls.

	ISHI: A Real-Life Last Of The Mohicans
		In the late 1840's, the end of the Yahi was set in motion by events which took place far from Yahi lands.
		Yahi history; its beginnings, events, culture, language, and its people was alive and infused into one last soul.
		There were also photographs taken of both locations and of Ishi demonstrating the Yahi methods of crafting arrow heads, arrows, bows, spears, etc. In a strange way, Kroeber was actually recording the past through living history in the present for the future.

	Ishi's Brain: In Search of America's Last "Wild" Indian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Captured in the hills of northern California in 1911, Ishi, the last survivor of his Yahi tribe, was brought to San Francisco by the famous anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, and became a living museum display until his death five years later.
		The scientist consequently dubbed the language "Yahi," and named the Indian "Ishi," which sounded like "I'citi," his word for "man." He appeared to be the last surviving member of his tribe.
		As Starn points out, even though Theodora vividly described the massacres of the Yahi people, Ishi's forbearers, she wanted her story to be about healing: Ishi survived thanks to the kindness of her husband, Alfred, and other white protectors.

	Encyclopedia of North American Indians - - Ishi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In the twenty-five-year period following the beginning of the California Gold Rush in 1849, most of the native people of northern California had been killed by Euro-Americans or their diseases, and those who remained were having a hard time surviving the miners' and settlers' impact on the land.
		The small Yahi tribe, known even before the arrival of whites for their fierce courage, was among the more effective groups in resisting the takeover, and they had suffered greatly.
		But although the Yahis were a part of the same linguistic group as the Yanas, their languages were not very similar, and the two men did not understand each other well.

		Exposed to a society hosting diseases foreign to the Yahi, Ishi contracted tuberculosis and died on March 25, 1916 at the medical college on Parnassus.
		The Yahi survivor was a source of information for researchers, but he probably didn't feel exploited by them, Foster adds.
		The anthropologists pronounced Ishi a Yahi because he spoke Yahi and was found near Yahi territory.

	The ARF Newsletter: Spring 1996
		Recent research on the projectile point style, physical anthropology, and the oral history of surrounding historic Native California groups suggests that Ishi, purported to be the last California Yahi of the early 20th century, appears to have learned much of his technology from members of an adjoining group.
		Given the dwindling group size of the Yahi, this seems sensible in light of the incest taboo and the patrilineality of the Yahi.
		While it certainly seems logical, given the demographic pressures experienced by the Yahi, and indeed all Native Californians at that time in history, that Ishi would be a physical and cultural amalgam of Yahi and Wintu, there are more compelling anthropological issues that I find more interesting.

		In 1911, Ishi, the last surviving member of the Yahi Indian tribe, emerged from the foothills near Mount Lassen in the Mill Creek region of California.
		For decades it was assumed the Yahi had been exterminated by the incursions of civilization.
		Of course it was inevitable that he would be exposed to diseases against which the Yahi had no immunity, and Ishi died from tuberculosis in 1916.

	Ishi
		Though His True Identify May Never Be Known, It's Fairly Certain He Wasn't the Legendary "Last Yahi," an Archaeologist Says by Gretchen Kell Ishi is a household name in Northern California, where school children have been taught for 85 years that he was the last Yahi, a subgroup of the Yana Indians.
		He learned to produce arrowpoints not from Yahi relatives, but very possibly from a Nomlaki or Wintu male relative.
		They also considered him the last Yahi, said Shackley, since "the only Yahi left in the hinterlands were believed to have been exterminated by Indian killers brought in by whites." Furthermore, they believed Ishi was the last Indian to have lived in the wild.

	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.
		These are terms made up by anthropologists and refer to the two closely related dialects of the Yana language: "Yana" and "Yahi" both mean man, in the northern and southern dialects respectively.
		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.

		The surviving Yahi went into a period of concealment and silence that lasted some 40 years.
		His friends at the museum tried to bury him in the traditional Yahi way by cremating him along with one of his bows, five arrows, a basket of acorn meal, a boxful of shell bead money, a purse full of tobacco, three rings, and some obsidian flakes.

	Yahi Trail -- Wes Dempsey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A note in the Yahi Group records relates that "the Yahi Trail was completed and dedicated in 1967".
		The trail at that time began at Day Camp and pretty much followed existing fisherman trails along the creek or the edge of the bluffs until Devil's Kitchen where it joined the park road for a short way and then dropped down to the base of the cliffs.
		Along the trail you pass by the site of the CARD Day Camp (Camp Chi-da-ca) that was started in 1951 and to which many of us sent our kids for nature study (and to get them out of our hair for a couple of days!).

		Following Yahi custom, the survivor refused to give his name; Kroeber named him Ishi, meaning "man" in Yana.
		The emphasis on objects relating to the hunt, is due partly to Ishi's own interests and knowledge and partly to that of his friend Saxton Pope, whom Ishi inspired to take up archery.
		Ishi's innovative adaptations may make it difficult for current anthropologists to use his artifacts as documentary sources of traditional Yahi culture, but they are a testament to Ishi's innate creativity in the face of overwhelming personal and cultural loss.
