Last of His Tribe, The (DVD)

In 1800 there were 300,000 Native Americans living in California; by 1900 only 20,000 remained. Of the thousands who witnessed this slaughter, it was thought that none remained wild, until the day in 1911 when they called "Ishi" was captured raiding a slaughterhouse. Dr. Kroeber (Jon Voight) and his wife Henriette (Anne Archer) discover that Ishi (Graham Greene) is the last survivor of the Yahi tribe. In his head he carries the secrets of his people, how they lived and died. These are secrets no man knows - but Dr. Kroeber makes it his mission to uncover them before the last of the Yahi is gone forever. Like Dance With Wolves, THE LAST OF HIS TRIBE takes you into a world of violence, mystery and survival- theworld that was still the Old West, before it became new.
