The Last of His Tribe

Buy This Item The Last of His Tribe by Hbo Home Video  Available from Amazon  $5.49  on 8-27-2008     What a wonderful, enlightening, sad & even funny story. Just like many other things (i.e. the La Amistad story), why was this not taught to us in school?? U.S. History, Social Studies, English reading list As a 40-something I feel cheated to just now have happened upon the 'ISHI' story. So glad I did, and am now reading the book. The actors in this film were fantastic. Graham Greene made this character real (he's awesome anyway), and Jon Voight was excellent. Their performances brought tears more than once during this film. Thank goodness for D. Ogden Stiers' great comic relief! More than great entertainment It will change your perception, attitudes and ideas about people and our history. Reader Reviews The story of Ishi, Last of his tribe. Based on true account and I was greatly pleased that the movie rendition came so close to the book. I teach native american culture, and will use this film when reviewing California Indians. I have been to the CA State Museum and have seen Ishi's posessions and am impressed that a man who lost so much, was able to give back to the people who took it away from him I whole heartedly reccomend this movie for watching, not only for the personal interest, but for humanitarian reasons also.
