Picture that you lived in a forest and every man, plant and animal was destroyed except you. Someone unfamiliar picks you up and tries to find what you are all about while integrating you back into your world which appears destroyed wherever you tread. Picture yourself now in the same world in which you are the only one who knows that it's fake and destroyed. If you can accept that then you are ready to read ISHI!

There will be no more ISHI's from North American for many millenium's.

The explanation of the relationship Kroeber and Ishi are superb and I cried through most of this book.

A book about Ishi was required reading for a project I worked on for the Cherokee tribe. Reading this book was the most important part of the project!(less)
