Ishi 
 Ishi (c. 1861 – March 25, 1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from California in the United States.
Ishi 
 The rest of the Yahi (as well as many members of their parent tribe, the Yana) were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century.
Ishi 
 The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave him this name because in the Yahi culture, tradition demanded that he not speak his own name until formally introduced by another Yahi.
Ishi 
 When asked his name, he said: "I have none, because there were no people to name me," meaning that there was no other Yahi to speak his name for him.
Ishi 
 Ishi was taken in by anthropologists at the University of California, Berkeley, who both studied him and hired him as a janitor.
Ishi 
 In 1865, Ishi and his family were attacked in the Three Knolls Massacre, in which 40 of their tribesmen were killed.
Ishi 
 Prior to the California Gold Rush of 1848–1855, the Yahi population numbered 404 in California, but the total Yana in the larger region numbered 2,997.
Ishi 
 The gold rush brought tens of thousands of miners and settlers to northern California, putting pressure on native populations.
Ishi 
 The northern Yana group became extinct while the central and southern groups (who later became part of Redding Rancheria) and Yahi populations dropped dramatically.
Ishi 
 Searching for food, they came into conflict with settlers, who set bounties of 50 cents per scalp and 5 dollars per head on the natives.
Ishi 
 It is estimated that with this massacre, Ishi's entire cultural group, the Yana/Yahi, may have been reduced to about sixty people.
Ishi 
 From 1859 to 1911, Ishi's remote band became more and more mixed with non-Yahi Indian representatives, such as Wintun, Nomlaki, and Pit River members.
Ishi 
 Volunteers among the settlers and military troops carried out more campaigns against the northern California Indian tribes during that period.</blockquote>
Ishi 
 In late 1908, a group of surveyors found the camp with two men, a middle-aged woman, and an elderly woman.
Ishi 
 Three ran away while the old woman hid herself in blankets because she was sick and unable to run away.
Ishi 
 Finally, starving on August 29, 1911, Ishi was captured trying to get meat near Oroville, California, after forest fires in the area.
Ishi 
 The "wild man" caught the imagination and attention of thousands of onlookers and curiosity seekers.
Ishi 
 Professors at the University of California, Berkeley, Museum of Anthropology—now the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology (PAHMA)—read about him and brought him to the university.
Ishi 
 Studied by the university, Ishi also worked as a janitor and lived in an apartment at the museum for most of the remaining five years of his life.
Ishi 
 Much tradition had already been lost when he was growing up, as there were few older people in his group.
Ishi 
 It was recorded and studied by the linguist Edward Sapir, who had previously done work on the northern dialects.
Ishi 
 His friends at the university tried to prevent an autopsy on Ishi's body, since Yahi tradition kept the body in one piece.
Ishi 
 But the doctors at the University of California medical school performed an autopsy before Waterman could stop them.
Ishi 
 August 10, 2000, the Smithsonian returned it to the descendants of the Redding Rancheria and Pit River tribes.
Ishi 
 According to Robert Fri, director of the National Museum of Natural History, "Ishi was not the last of his kind ... We learned that as a Yahi–Yana Indian his closest living descendants are the Yana people of northern California."
Ishi 
 His remains were also returned from Colma, and the tribal members intended to bury them in a secret place.
