He left the wild on August 29, 1911 near Oroville, California, after leaving his ancestral homeland in the foothills near Lassen Peak. Ishi is believed to be the last Native American to have lived completely outside the European-american culture. His story was popularized in a book by Theodora Kroeber, wife of A.L. Kroeber, who worked with Ishi. External links UCSF site about Ishi: http://www.library.ucsf.edu/sc/hist/ishi This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by fixing it.
