Ishi: The Last Yahi
The Yahi stories contain information of a past culture which connects to
Archaeology in California. The relationship between the story of the last Yahi and
Archaeology in California is that they connect with anthropological understanding. Using
archaeology with Ishi 's story helped uncover what his life was like. By someone like

He wouldn’t tell anyone his name so they called him Ishi, meaning “man” in the Yahi
language.
