Ishi we are grateful. My tribes were there and the ancestors have told me the stories. My great grandmother at the age of 103 would tell me the story of our ancestors fleeing to the mountains. I was eight years old then. Now I'm 66 years old. Our family is buried in the first row at the San Gabriel Mission. We were here from the beginning, we are the true Americans.

Can’t even imagine how much Ishi suffered, losing everything he ever loved. Hope he’s resting in peace.

I live about 60 miles from Ishi's native ground. I have explored the area around Mt Lassen my whole life and consider it home. His hunting grounds were a bit South of my own. I roam the land of the Northern Maidu, a Northern neighbor of the Yahi. There is a wonderful book by Saxton Pope entitled Hunting with the Bow and Arrow. Pope was very close with Ishi, his entire life in "civilization". They hunted, shot targets, and Ishi taught him how to make a bow and arrow. Pope is now referred to as the father of modern bow hunting. From the book, after Ishi's passing: "With him there was no word for good-by. He said: "You stay, I go." He has gone and he hunts with his people. We stay, and he has left us the heritage of the bow."

It was terrible his wishes weren't met in death. Some people are very taboo about what happens to their bodies after death.

How interesting, His name in my Indigenous language means I Am.

Excellent video, but one clarification: the men who found their last camp/village at Grizzly Bear Hiding Spot didn’t take “a few” of their belongings - they took all their vital belongings and all their food. This was as the season was changing to winter. They essentially doomed the 4 of the 5 last residents to death. Ishi was only survivor.

Thank you for another well done bio, love listening and learning. I'm a volunteer for my small California town's museum, and the treatment of native peoples in our state has a dismal record. At one time, there were bounties for killing them, and our government reimbursed the cost of the bullets used for the murders. Good to get the stories and racist history told. Our native tribe was Chiguan Ohlone.

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

I really liked this type of video, Poor man, he must have felt so lonely... Hugs from Sweden

Poor man. Sad story that seems all too familiar when it comes to the genocide of indigenous peoples. Putting him on display like a zoo animal was a bit much. They seemed to acquire more compassion after spending time with him but he was still seen as something ‘other’. Glad his remains were returned to the native people and given a proper burial. A fascinating story.

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.

I read about Ishi in the fourth grade . I cried my eyes out for months

Ugh, I wish they could have translated more of Ishi’s words. That would have been important history. It would be a nightmare to live in a museum and see the artifacts of your now extinct culture and people.

@evangeline77x

3 жыл бұрын

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.
