Waganupa
Ishi (ca, 1860 - March 25, 1916) was a member of the YAHI People. He is believed to have been the last Native American to live in the “Wild,” completely outside of European American culture. In 1911, at about 49 years old, Ishi wandered onto a ranch near Oroville, California, leaving his ancestral homeland near the foothills of the volcano (Mt. Lassen), known to the Yahi as wa ganu p’a (Center of the World).
Waganupa Brewing®, established in 2015, is a craft brewery that crafts small batches of premium artisanal beer, fresh days fresh and made entirely in Chester, CA located at the base of Mt. Lassen.
