That is interesting that Ishis native tongue, was comprised of some Jewish....I do know that often the names we assign to Native American tribes, are not usually the names they themselves use to refer to themselves....usually its the name that the tribe itself uses to mean 'people'...often the words we use to denote a 'particular name' of a person within a tribe or the tribe itself, is really more of a generic term that the people themselves use....its all about context, and perception of how different peoples use different words...very interesting...

hi crys and lynn
I did read some of the Book of Mormon
they claim one at least of the Lost Tribes of Israel came over to North America
they were located where upstate NY is now
and I believe it
I have no idea how Ishi's tribe's language got to be 30% Hebrew
Altho when I read Geronomo's autobiography -- I remember feeling a ''Jewish connection''
I loved Geronomo and identified with much of what he said
my favorite part was about dialing up God and talking to him on the telephone (metaphorically)
Love, Palo
