some on here asked if i would post some more pics from the musuem here in minnesota
wi'll post some of what i think are the best and show the most
this musuem has a mount of every world record animal taken with a bow
but didnt realy take pics of that,sorry but you all have seen pics of them i am sure
i will start with some pics of ISHI's stuff
it was realy neat seeing his handy work
but not all of it what yo would call exceptional work
after all his main reason for making them were survival,not display
the much "nicer looking" pieces were usually made for friends of his once he came to live
in modern society
heres the pics of his now

You are the man Tim, thanks!

great pics tim. friend of mine is big with pope and young and made a plaque of the logo. next time you go there if you see a logo with an oversized arrow behind it, i knapped it. ;D same friend told me if i ever wanted to go to pope and young to see anything but the primitive stuff not to bother. he has the same collection of recurves and broadheadss in his basement!! love the pic of ishi point all by it self.
-
pictures are awesome, thanks for posting! How long did it take for you to leave? I think I would go through once and want to start right back at the beginning.
-
Thanxx for takein the time to post these for us to view.Much appreciated.
One note though,that may just be a typo,but the Tribal name was Yana,not Yani.Isnt Yani,some Euro Pianist er somethin?
-
yup,that bow there was from what i was told would have been a tribe very closely related to his tribe
a neighboring tribe so to speak
not sure if thats historicaly correct,just what i was told
-
Great Pictures, Tim! Thanks. Now you have me wanting to dig out the 4 rolls of pictures I took at the Bear Museum before they closed and sold most of the bows.
-
I was thinking about the Bear Museum when Tim first posted thezse pics. I got to spend a few hours there back in the late 70s or early 80s. Thanks for posting these pics Tim. Cool stuff.
-
ok did a little research
Ishis was the last member of the Yahi tribe
which was the last survung group of the Yana people
-
Thanks for taken the time to post them Tim, i enjoyed it !
I need to get over there and see the place sometime !
