R u Native American

@@truthwillrevealed1588 I do have Crow, Cherokee, and Shawnee ancestry. Not enough to classify as part of either of those nations. My paternal grandfather could, he and a few of his siblings are bit more dark than standard Irish white. Most of us do have higher cheek bones but only some are a bit darker complected. Side note, I live very close to the Earth Works built by the Mound Builders located in Ohio.

loved :) loved by the most evil race ever existed

@@mejiger way to be extremely racist and be exactly what is wrong with our society.

AMEN 🙏🏼❤️🗺️🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@Yes No amen it's just a colloquial way of saying tjat someone agrees with and affirms what's being said. You're the one putting religion into it, words belong everywhere. They have meanings yes but those can bend and shift and intersect and acquire new and other uses. You're being ridiculous

I know he is where he belongs in the afterlife, with his loved ones.

Yes, I agree. Unfortunate that some treated him as a specimen or project. He was an interesting survivor of his Tribe, an historic person with much worth. Thanks for sharing Ishi’s story. 🙏❤️✌️😷

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching :)

I just read it, too. An amazing story.

I'd have been terrified - in fact, I am - 🤔 - good wishes x

Thanks for watching :)

Ishi lived an amazing life surrounded by loving caring people he lived at a museum in his own home he built and did demonstrations on indigenous ways and flint knapping stone tools although when he died the message to not do an autopsy on him was not received on time and an autopsy was done and in yahi culture you go to hell when and autopsy is done to you

I just saw that they mentioned this in the video I hadn’t watched the whole thing when I commented.. I’m sorry about that lol

Thanks for watching :)

😭

Yes. It is terrible the treatment of the tribes in California. I am a teacher and in our district there are Ohlone and other indigenous people. And statistically speaking, they have the lowest graduation rate. It is so sad, because in California free tuition to a 4 year university is available to state residents who are at least one-quarter Native American and enrolled in a federally recognized tribe. But so many of them can't make it through high school to even qualify. It is a shameful legacy of the past

​@@plr2473 что им мешает закончить среднюю школу?

Yes, but there are two facts about the movie that Professor Theodore Kroeber and his daughter Theodora Kroeber's books point out. There were NO prostitutes involved and no jail cells were locked up on Ishi. Ishi did sleep in a jail cell for a short time.

So nice of you! Thanks!

That is very interesting. They did mention he was not able to say what his real name was due to customary beliefs. Having the name translate to "I Am" makes a lot of sense really....Thanks for the information. Incidentally, what is your indigenous language if you don't mind me asking?

Hi! Ishi is the word for 'man' in Yahi. It seems to be nearly the same.

@@SnaykEyes77 Hi! As I mentioned to MD Darkwood, Ishi is the word for 'man' in Yahi. It seems to be nearly the same.

@@SnaykEyes77 I've often wondered how that custom started with the tribes we have. It was bad manners to ask someone their name, and introductions were needed.

How much Native American do you have in you?

Great story, he died too young! Loved the way you tell the stories now, showing yourself on the screen. Good job! No ads, but as always i relisten to your vids for that. Thank you FLives. Happy Healthy New Year!🎊 Good night

Happy new year! Thanks for the support!!

@@ForgottenLives Always a pleasure! Sorry later reply, no power for the all day! Bad weather! Thank you. Good night

Glad you like them!

Thanks very much! I'm glad to hear that!

Of course there's a deeply tragic air to Ishi's time at the museum, but he was able to share his culture, things he would have learned from his tribe that would otherwise have been lost with him, and he seemed to enjoy that. I think compared to many others exploited by western society (in sideshows or for the sake of scientific research like Ota Benga), Ishi had a fairly comfortable fulfilling life. While he was exhibited he wasn't held captive, he didnt seem to be forced to do anything, he was included and seemed to have felt genuine joy in participating... At least that's how it seems, since he did not appear to have become depressed or withdrawn as others in similar situations. Of course there's the underlying moral implications involved in the exhibition of humans for entertainment and profit. And the unequal power dynamics present in the relationships. However at no point did it seem Ishi was pushed to do anything against his will, against his own best interest? Sure, but not against his will.

Professor Theodore Kroeber and Ishi learned each others language. Then the professor and his daughter Theodora Kroeber wrote books about Ishi. Public libraries should have copies, and shopping internet sites too.

@@BebeesHuman I just read the book. The book jacket reads that Theodora Kroeber was Pfr. Kroeber's wife. She was also an anthropologist. They have numerous recordings of Ishi speaking into the recorders of the day. From these recordings, she was able to translate and write the story. I highly recommend reading the book. It is as close to knowing his story in his own words as we can get.

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks!

Yes, I thought he was older. He's very knowledgeable for a youngster☘🤣🧚‍♂️👍🏻lovely looking young lad😄

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks 😁

@@ForgottenLives You’re welcome! 😄

Actually we all have had this experience or we would not be clammering together in the last nation that allows it.

Hi Janet!

@@jemdew3123 I Know, do you think he looks like a famous person or? 🤔 I'm not up to date with celebs, haven't had a TV for 11 years. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Good wishes 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@bettyjames4155 Hiya Betty James! How are you? Frozen ground and lockdown here in Bonnie Scotland. Good wishes 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏼

@@janetcw9808 I'm doing well.

@@jemdew3123 I thought Leonard Cohen perhaps... 🤔

Very few people know that! Ishi’s mother was actually my great (x5) aunt, her sister being Wistome (Mary Beavers) who I descend from.

Many thanks!

@@nannerlchanel5045 just waiting on my "signed" poster, in the mail...

Thanks very much!!

Thank you :)

Great, thanks :)

@@ForgottenLives Well deserved-glad to have found this channel!

Thank you :)

My pleasure!

There are many other tribes. Still being slaughtered but I lived amongst them. 😭

Well, history is full of blood-soaked stories taken place in all over the world.

Thank you very much :)

I thought you were older too.

He has an old granny fan in the states also.

guessed

Thanks so much!

@@renatedebruyn9612 thanks, speaking 7 languages can give u a brain-fart sometimes😉

Thank you! 😄

@@ForgottenLives You're welcome!!!😇😇😇

After WW1, here in the u.s., there was a swing toward making natives into the majestic, at one with nature ppl we see them as now. Read the writings of the settlers/pioneers etc. if you're interested. Very interesting to see it from their pov.

@@GreenLord128 I will much appreciated thank u 🙏🏼

Thanks!!

Thanks for watching 😀

Thanks for the comment! I will look into her!

If you need any Intel for an eventual video, I was in her house as before it burned it was my notaries office, my daughter attended private school in the same place (it had burned as well). If you ever have the chance the diary book is a great read that lets you into the mind set of Canadian French Victorian times.

Exactly

I Think they meant will but didn't think the gesture though

Ikr?? How sad it must have made him.. 💔💔

Obviously he had resorvations

It's like a lot of Vietnam vets who when they go back to Vietnam finally get to release this image of what they experienced when they see the country has moved on. I think on some level they knew he needed to go back there to move on.

Thanks 😀

Thank you! Will do :)

Thanks for the great support ☺️

Thanks!! I'll look into them!
