known
member
of
the
Native
American
Yahi
people
from
the
present

day
state
of
California
in

The
rest
of
the
Yahi
(
as
well
as
many
members
of
their
parent
tribe
''
the
Yana
)
were
killed
in
the
California
genocide
in
the
19th
century
.
Widely
described
as
the
„
last
wild
Indian
“
in
the
United
States
''
Ishi
lived
most
of
his
life
isolated
from
modern
North
American
culture
''
and
was
the
last
known
Native
manufacturer
of
stone
arrowheads

Ishi
''
which
means
„
man
“
in
the
Yana
language
''
is
an
adopted
name
.
The
anthropologist
Alfred
Kroeber
gave
him
this
name
because
in
the
Yahi
culture
''
tradition
demanded
that
he
not
speak
his
own
name
until
formally
introduced
by
another
Yahi
.
When
asked
his
name
''
he
said
:
„
<
strong
>
I
have
none
''
because
there
were
no
people
to
name
me
strong
>
“
''
meaning
that
there
was
no
other
Yahi
to
speak
his
name
on
his
behalf
