In the summer of 1911, a tired Indian walks out of the wilderness of Northern California and into history. His name was Ishi, and he was the last known member of the Yahi people, a small Native American tribe that had been wiped out by violence, and raids. To the modern world, Ishi seemed like a mystery -- a "wild Indian" who had lived most of his life apart from towns and cities. But to those who knew him, he was kind, gentle, and incredibly brave. Ishi became a teacher, sharing his language, his traditions, and his remarkable survival skills with the world. Though Ishi may have been the last of his tribe, his story of courage and wisdom continue to show people that being "civilized" wasn't about clothes or buildings -- it was about kindness, laughter, and the strength of the human spirit.
