11. Ishi (ca – March 25, 1916) was the last member of the Yahi, the last surviving group of the Yana people of the U.S. state of California. Ishi is believed to have been the last Native American in Northern California to have lived most of his life completely outside the European American culture.
1911 at age 54

12. Ishi means "man" in the Yana language
Ishi means "man" in the Yana language. The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave this name to the man when he discovered Ishi had never been named. When asked his name, he said: "I have none, because there were no people to name me," meaning that no tribal naming ceremony had been performed.

13. Ishi is estimated to have been born about 1860–1862
Ishi is estimated to have been born about 1860–1862. In 1865, when he was a young boy, Ishi and his family were attacked in the Three Knolls Massacre, in which 40 of their tribesmen were killed.[2] Approximately 30 Yahi survived to escape, but shortly after cattlemen killed about half of the survivors. The last survivors, including Ishi and his family, went into hiding for the next 40 years, and their tribe was popularly believed to be extinct.[3]

14. In the fall of 1908, a group of surveyors came across the camp inhabited by an elderly native woman, a man, and young girl - Ishi's elderly mother, Ishi, and his sister. The latter two fled and the former hid herself in blankets to avoid detection, because she was sick and could not run. The surveyors ransacked the camp and took everything. Ishi's mother and other relatives died soon after Ishi's return. Ishi lived three years beyond the raid alone, the last of his tribe. Finally, starving and with nowhere to go, at the age of about 49 in 1911, Ishi walked out into the white man's world.[3]
