"Ishi in Two Worlds" by Theodora Kroeber

What does knowledge of Ishi’s life contribute to our understanding of California history? How is our knowledge of California history enriched by Ishi’s decision to come out of his long concealment and/or Theodora Kroeber’s decision to write a book about Ishi? What would have been lost if Ishi had remained in concealment until death? What would have been lost if Ishi had emerged from his concealment, lived and died at the museum, but Theodora Kreober had never thought to try and record his life story? According to Kroeber, what did Ishi teach the “civilized” world, and what did the “civilized” world teach Ishi? To what extent do you agree with her assessment?
