yahi archery

Book cover
This is the story of archery as practiced by Ishi and the California Yahi Indians told by Saxton Pope. From the introduction we get As a matter of fact, we have very little accurate information as to how the Indians used their weapons, and still less as to how they made them. The present paper is an attempt to present the facts concerning the archery of one tribe, the Yahi or Deer Creek Indians of north- central California, the most southerly division of the Yanan stock, as represented in the person of its last survivor, Ishi, who lived from 1911 to 1916 at the University of California. The paper will deal first with the very interesting methods of the Yahi for the manufacture of the implements of archery, and, second, their style of shooting......What the writer knows of Ishi s archery is based upon three years association with him. In this period many hours were spent in making bows and arrows, in talking about shooting, in target practice, and in hunting trips in the fields and woods.
