Ishi (1861-1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from the present day state of California. He was widely (and likely inaccurately) touted as the "last wild Indian" and lived most of his life in isolation before "emerging" in downtown Oroville, California. (adapted from Wikipedia)
