Ansi Saltu

Cette histoire est celle de Ishi, le dernier des Indiens de Californie et d'Amérique du Nord.
Sa tribu exterminée, il s'enfuit dans la forêt où il vit le reste de sa famille périr.
Il décida alors de se rendre à la civilisation et arriva le 29 août 1911 dans un abattoir d'Oroville.
Après avoir échappé à la curiosité malsaine de la population locale,
il fut protégé par deux anthropologues, Waterman et surtout Kroeber.
Ishi vécut 5 ans au muséum d'Anthropologie de San Francisco où il mourut en 1916… d'une tuberculose !
Ansi saltu veut dire " beaucoup de blancs ".
Ces paroles prononcées devant une plage noire de monde furent son seul réel étonnement quant à notre civilisation.
(Bibl. : Ishi de Théodora Kroeber)

Paroles

I'd like to tell you a story about the last of the Yahi

He came in our world, a day of nineteen eleven,
He was the last of a four thousands years old tribe
Some people says he should be killed
Just because he was a salvage !
They couldn't knew he was the truly last, the last,
The last of the Yahi
The last of the Yana
The last of the Indians of California

"They walk around the ground and they go up to the sky,
To the sky on a rope the dead"
Dead travel the South, who brought you on this way ?
"Ansi Saltu", they came to kill you, "Ansi saltu", ansi saltu killed you !

They've been thrust aside
Deep in the forest
Where they stay forty years living
Just a few last of them.

Then some came and took away the last things they needed
To survive through the winter.

They didn't knew there were the truly last, the last,
The last of the Yahi
The last of the Yana
The last of the Indians of California

"They walk around the ground and they go up to the sky,
To the sky on a rope the dead"
Dead travel through the South, who brought you on this way ?
"Ansi Saltu", they came to kill you, "Ansi saltu", ansi saltu killed you !
Hey !
"Ansi Saltu", they came to kill you, "Ansi saltu", ansi saltu killed you !
