Write a well-crafted, 250-word response that answers one of the following questions and draws from the main ideas from the first half of Kroeber's biography of Ishi.
In short, we want to answer the question: Who is Ishi the Yahi?
Consider:
1. Upon entering the modern world, what does Ishi share with those in the dominant White culture? But the more interesting question is: What does he not share?
2. As a people, who were the Yahi? What was their form of life like? What were their beliefs about reality/their environment like?
3. As a people, What happened to the Yahi? Why did the Yahi disappear? (What's more, what is lost in the disappearance of a people?)
4. Describe the Yahi interactions with the dominant White culture.
5. What is Ishi's personal story?
