Learn about Native American culture and Ishi at California State Indian Museum.

With stunning basketry and beadwork, fascinating sacred objects, ceremonial dance regalia, and a large collection of tools and other artifacts, the California State Indian Museum in downtown Sacramento sheds light on how Native Americans lived, played, hunted, worked the land, and worshiped in California. Exhibits, many with audio, chronicle the history, culture, and traditions of the state's many tribes. Photographs, as well as a hands-on display of Indian tools and a demonstration village, help explain and commemorate these remarkable indigenous people. One of the most notable exhibits is about Ishi, believed to be the last California Indian to have lived most of his life in the wild, outside European American culture.
