These pictures appeared in the February 1974 Pennsylvania
Game News. My guess is that all the work took place in 1973…45 years ago. What an inspirational testament to the
hard work of our loyal and dedicated members. Many thanks!!
Famous Archers – Ishi
The last of the Yahi, Ishi was first discovered by the outside world in 1911, when he was found near Oroville, California.
Conflicts with settlers, cattlemen and miners had greatly dwindled the Yahi tribe in the 19th century, and a series of
massacres eventually left Ishi and his family as the sole survivors. By 1908, only Ishi was left.
Starving and with nowhere to turn, Ishi finally stumbled into the outside world at the age of 50. He was a marvel for many
researchers, and for years he was studied closely to piece together the last days of the Yahi. Eventually, he moved to
San Francisco and got a job as a janitor at the University of California, Berkley. It was here that he would meet Saxton
Pope. Despite hailing from vastly different worlds, the two men became fast friends. Ishi taught Pope all he knew about
the Yahi way of bow making and hunting, which along with his skill as a flintknapper, is regarded as his greatest legacy.
In 1916, Ishi died of tuberculosis. He was buried with one of his bows, five arrows, and some obsidian flakes.
