What is Wowunupo?

After the arrival of more saldu near the village of Tuliyani, Ishi and his People relocate to a cave set on the steep side of a canyon, named Wowunupo, which means “Grizzly Bear’s Hiding Place.” Their village at Wowunupo is discovered in 1908 by the work crew of a power company. Following the death of Ishi’s mother, he wanders out of the forest and is discovered near a slaughterhouse in Oroville in 1911.
