Ishi survived attacks on his people and lived in the remote wilderness of northern California for 40 years. His story reminds us that Native Americans are neither gone nor forgotten.

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 .

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.

Same here … when I listened to the book it had me feeling angry among a lot of other emotions … led me currently to listening to An American Genocide … I’ve studied a lot about the Lakota’s and other Plains tribes but have never heard anything about California natives … all of this needs to be taught in history classes, especially when teaching about how the USA was built, so to speak, and for lack of a better term.

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.

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

An old story, one that has so many untold truths which leads all of us to where we are today, ishi's story is a modern story unlike the stories of you and I.

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.

@samgibson684 4 ай бұрын

He likely gave himself up because he was lonely and didn't want to get murdered

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

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

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.

He did walk out of the Brush but, to pilfer meat from the slaughter house and was caught in the act. So, basically, he was captured because he had been living in the area and raiding peoples gardens and storage's for quite a while. It was reported by several people, to include Native people, who referred to Him as the Old Crazy one.

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.

@TightwadTodd 7 ай бұрын

First ive ever heard this but, Kroeber knew, he wasnt the "Last" of his band. and ignored and suppressed that info, because it did not coincide with the Narrative he was presenting to the public, to promote his name in the relatively new field of Anthropology.

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

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.
