A Man Called Ishi 

I learned about him a week ago and it's a fascinating story but I feel incredibly angry over how his tribe were treated. Horrifying.

Omg god imagine the loneliness and horrors that poor man went through.So sad

I am very glad and relieved that the remains of Ishi have finally been reunited and respectfully buried in the sacred space where Ishi belonged. I read the story of Ishi many decades ago and was greatly moved by it. Ishi lived his remaining years as an employee of Kroger's museum, even paid a [rather low, but it came with room-and-board] salary, he was said to be "a true gentleman" [that characterization stuck with me], and interacted with children who came to the museum, teaching them his Native crafts. This is a heartbreaking image for me, as he had no children of his own surviving, or even of his tribe or relations.

I read " Ishi" while cycling the entire trail of tears. Being immersed in the story and trail gave me the encouragement to pull off the 1300 mile journey and took away any right to complain I might've felt after imagining what all the natives must've gone through .

It must of been such a lost and sorrowful feeling to know you are the last of your people. I couldn't even imagine the feeling of such a loss. To be the last of your people. I'm so ashamed of what was done to his people. They didn't stand a chance. Makes me sick

Thank you for this Great Knowledge.

Hello Beverly,this is Marshall and I wanted you to know that I think of you often and the true spiritual aura you harbor for Ishi. I can recall the time at Black Rock during one of Richards seminars when you simply stepped out on to the dirt road and found a relic remnant of an obsidian arrow point. I wish I could have been there with you upon the monument reveal. Ishi is near and dear to my heart,but I sincerely believe that you are a special soul among those people who have embraced the heart of Ishi and the Yahi tribe. Forgive me for losing contact ,I lost many things but I could never lose the memories of California Ishi, your son Fred or especially you and the sincere care you employ in every aspect toward Ishi and the life which he lived. You are much more than an educator or advocate. I thank you.

Anthropology was brutal.

Im hearing many times that the us “captured!” Ishi, I’ve read a book about him and by those accounts Ishi just walked out the bush? I am fascinated by Ishi’s story, I have studied Ishi because I am an armature bowyer (in the u.k. so I’m slightly probably out of context and time), his work was really high craftsmanship but he as a person must have been one interesting man. It’s horrific what the Americans did to the natives, no better than the nazi’s. They should never ever be allowed to forget it.

from the roots we must grow 💜

When one feels lonely, imagine the loneliness this man suffered. I imagine he gave himself up because he knew he was going to starve to death.

I listened to the book on audible … my heart broke for him thinking he was the last of his tribe … certainly he was the last of his family … What a wise man he was ❤ now listening to “An American Genocide.”

Read a book about him over 30 yrs ago. Very intriguing, very horrifying the story of Genocide in US and in particular in CA

Well done. Thank you. Walk in Spirit.

Check out the movie ' The last of his tribe " Graham Green.

I was down in California hauling logs out of "Cement Horse" Ishi's home grounds and what a Beautiful place. Was a shame how he and his people were hunted by the whiteman.

In light of Thanksgiving, I read that the '1621 Plymouth, Massachusetts thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. The Pilgrims celebrated this with the Wampanoags, a tribe of Native Americans who, along with the last surviving Patuxet, had helped them get through the previous winter by giving them food in that time of scarcity'.

If you read all the contemporary articles from the Oroville Mercury for those weeks not only does " Ishi" tell the native translator in jail that he has a wife and child but there was numerous sightings of her around what is now Oak Street. He wasn't the last, in fact they were known to be roaming around Walker Plains over a decade after the "Ishi" incident.

None of modern people have these stories about ancient times going back beyond written history.

"Woganupa Mutetna" (Grizzly bears hiding place).

Man’s inhumanity to man. He came in willingly I’m sure he was frightened and looking for help and he was put in jail how inhuman

A good looking man with a regal profile. I’ll bet those genes are passed down to others in that area-and beyond.

I've done volunteer habitat/Holy Place restoration for one of severl PNW nations who ARE in fact, very good at stewardship.

A modern story about ancient things.

I AND MY SPIRIT TRAVELED TO THE HOMELAND OF ISHI AS I WATCHED THE VIDEO OF ISHI HE AND HIS PEOPLE WERE DONE A GRAVE INJUSTICE BY THE THUGS OF THE AREA WHERE HE LIVED. AT LEAST HIS REMAINS AND HIS SPIRIT IS AT REST IN HIS HOMELAND!!!!

Lets replace all of the father Serra statues with an Ishi Statue To represent all California Indians..

The European enculturation is unforgiving to indigenous people. Ishi represents a fugitive of manifest destiny and the cruelty of "modern Americans". I'm grateful for my study of ishi and his story.

King David's father was called Jesse, that name translates to MY Man".Ishi"

So sad.

Ishi in Hebrew means " MY Man "

What language does the word "Ishi" come from? Anyone know?
