Ishi, the Last Yahi
"Ishi, the Last Yahi" chronicles the unforgettable story of Ishi, the last survivor of the Yahi tribe 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, alone and near starvation, walked out of the wilderness and into the white man's world where he would live out the remaining four years of his life at the Museum of Anthropology in San Francisco, relating Yahi stories and demonstrating the traditional way of life he knew so well. Narrated by Linda Hunt.
