Ishi Tale of Lizard is folktale from the Native American Yahi tribe. The Yahi tribe lived in northern California for thousands of years and were able to remain hidden as the rest of the world developed. The Tale of Lizard was told orally to many generations of the Yahi people.
The story was told by Ishi - the last surviving member of the Yahi tribe - to an anthropologist in the San Francisco museum. His story was loosely translated and is fairly long.
I did not quite understand the story and there is no solid plot to it either.
I honestly think I would understand it better if it were told to me orally by Ishi himself. ( )
