The life story of Ishi the last Yahi Indian lone survivor of an exterminated tribe is unique in the annals of North American anthropology.
Ishi stumbled into the twentieth century on the morning of August 29 1911 when desperate with hunger and terrified of the white murderers of his family he was found in the corral of a slaughterhouse near Oroville California.
Finally identified as a Yahi by an anthropologist Ishi was brought to San Francisco by Professor T. T. Waterman and lived there the rest of his life under the care and protection of Alfred Kroeber and the staff of the University of California's Museum of Anthropology.
