Book Description
Ishi, the last Yana, died in 1916, working in San Francisco's Anthropological Museum as a de facto living anthropological exhibit. But Yana mythology did not die with him. Decades before, Jeremiah Curtin, a remarkable American linguist, had collected many Yana and Wintu myths and preserved them for posterity and future scholars.
