Ishi : the last Yahi

Overview

Following extensive massacres of Native Americans in California in the 1860s and 1870s, Ishi and a handful of his tribe refused to surrender, choosing instead to live in hiding. After 40 years and the death of all the others, Ishi, near starvation, walked out of the wilderness and into the white man's world in 1911. Based on original research by Jed Riffe and the book Ishi, the last Yahi, a documentary history, edited by Robert F. Heizer and Theodora Kroeber
