When We Were Savages – II
  (A collaborative poem
  by five Jeff City Poets)


II. Ishi
(c. 1861 – March 25, 1916)


By Kurt Groner

I was a man of no name, from the Yahi people,
people who were brought to an end with the rush for gold

My people were no more, the last died at Three Knolls
I went to hide in the wilderness

When found by the white men,
my wrists were bound—
I just smiled and gave them no fight
