Ishi was a surviving member of an Indian tribe that was nearly wiped out. But much of the rest of his well-known story is a myth.
Ishi, the so-called “Last Yahi” may be the most famous Indian in California history. But much of what has been taught about him over the past century has turned out to be wrong.
The exhibit about Ishi at the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center, continues to be open to the public weekdays from 9 to 5.
