Yahi

Meaning "person" in their own language, the Yahi constituted the southernmost group of the Yana division of the Hokan linguistic stock. They were hunter-gatherers who lived in small egalitarian bands without centralized political authority. Primarily living on Mill and Deer Creeks in northern California, they were reclusive, and when white settlers began to invade their lands, were fierce in  defending their diminishing territory of mountain canyons. The last known survivor of the Yana people was from the Yahi tribe. He emerged from the mountains near Oroville, California on August 29, 1911 after the last of his family died. Having lived his entire life hiding with his tribe in the Sierra wilderness, he had never been exposed to European-American culture. Though he refused to speak his name, due to traditional customs, he was dubbed "Ishi," the Yana word for "man." Known as the "last wild Indian," he was taken to the University of California, Berkeley for study and protection, where he lived nearby until he died of tuberculosis in 1916. During the "study, his language was recorded.
