About Istet Woiche

The last recognized Speaker and Keeper of the Laws, History, and Chronology of the Pit River People. Mr. Hulsey is said by C. Merriam Hart (an early researcher of the Native Americans of Northern California) to have studied a quarter of a century to earn this title, which was signified by tatooing of the forearm. He was influential in the writing of "Annikadel: The History of the Universe as told by the Achomawi Indians." https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000559190
