Theodora Kroebers’ work is highly appreciated in the modern society. After reading the story Ishi in Two Worlds, I can confirm that the Ishi has a strong relation to how California history has been up to the state we are in currently. Just to touch on a brief history about Ishi, He was known as the last wild Indian in Central California. It’s said that he happened to be the last Indian Yahi tribe savior. Ishi has been found in slaughter house coral on August 29th of 1911. It is then that the sheriff

Our participant-observation work with Romeo was helpful in helping understand the cultural differences. In Guatemala, the most noticeable difference between American culture and Romeo’s culture is the markets that the citizens run and sell their goods at.
