    My God, this is heart-breaking. The last member of the Juma tribe in the Amazon dies of #COVID19, making the language and culture vanish. It reminds me of Ishi, that last of California's Yahi people, who died of tuberculosis in 1914.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/14/world/the-last-living-man-of-the-juma-people-in-brazil-has-died-from-covid-19.html …

        Here is more about Ishi, for the motivated: https://allthatsinteresting.com/ishi-last-native-american … I erred above -- Ishi died of TB in 1916. And under Yahi culture one could only be introduced to a strange by a 3rd party. Since no other Yahi-speakers lived, "Ishi" never revealed his true name.

        Growing up in California, I remember studying Ishi. The title of one of the books, Ishi, Last of His Tribe, has always haunted me.

        It’s so interesting. I’d like to read that. Have you seen the movie Wind Talkers? It’s abt the Navajo Code Talkers tht joined during WW2. . There’s 4 of them left now. It’s absolutely amazing.
