All In The Mind|2008-04-26 Disembodied brains, culture and science: Indigenous lives under gaze (Part 1 of 2) Episode
The incredible saga of Ishi, California´s last "wild" Indian, is the stuff of American folklore. It´s also the quest for a lost brain, taken from Ishi´s tuberculosis ravaged body at death — only to be rediscovered and repatriated 80 years later. And next week - a young Maori scientist working with post-mortem brain tissue is breaking new ground, to keep her lab life "culturally safe".
