Best Answer

- Ishi is famous because he was studied as the last surviving member of the Yahi, the last group of the Yana people of California. He lived most of his life in his native culture and when he was noticed, anthropologists realized they had a last chance to learn about the ways of his people.

- Ishi was not the last Yahi. Another Yahi women is still alive she hid in old mines.
