Squatchy McSquatch Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Norse my group of Native Friends (there are many of them from many different paths) don't consider Bigfoot a real thing. Shoot at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PBeaton Posted July 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2018 norseman, I'm Native...I consider sasquatch to be a real animal. I've also talked to quite a few Natives who believe they are real, an I've talked to Natives who claimed to have seen one, as well as talking to a few Natives who told me of other Natives who have seen them. I spoke with one Native guy who didn't like talkin' about his sightin', it simply bothered him. He was out huntin' one mornin', heard somethin' movin' on the hill parallel to him, in the mornin' mist he found himself lookin' at a sasquatch carrying a large stick. He seen it clear as, no mistakes, he froze, it froze, he stepped, it stepped, it scared the s out of him so he turned an left, not lookin' back. Only reason he told me was because of my sister-in-law knowin' him well, she told him I was honest in my interest in the subject. I know a Native Elder, a Chief, who told me of knowing Charlie Mack an his brothers, he told me of a sightin' in a creek where the elders were campin' durin' a huntin' trip. Talked to another Native who told me of his friend or relative(it's been a bit), who was countin' salmon, they float down the rivers, he saw one on all fours on the shore, it was lookin at him as he looked at it while he floated downstream. The guy showed me how the guy showed him how it was movin', which was like bein' in the middle of a push up, an then you start walkin away on all fours kinda low, arse up, hands an toes. Talked to another Native, a carver, asked him if he'd heard stories, said he had a friend seen one jump out of a tree, wasn't much to the story, besides his friend bein' freaked out. Reckon there's a few more I could recall. An for the record...I've talked to a few white folks who also consider them to be real animals. I always smile thinkin' of a elderly couple near Whiskey Creek if I recall, one of the local store owners had mentioned they had claimed a sightin'. So I went an said hi, the gentleman said he an his wife were drivin' home, seen a grey or brown big upright somethin' walk across the highway. I recall the wife slappin' his arm, said it was the other colour(brown or grey) as her husband was colour blind. I can't recall the colour she'd confirmed, one or the other. I asked her if she recalled what she saw, she said, big, upright, hairy, said it all happened quick. They mentioned it like you'd mention a neighbours dog barkin' all night, like it just happened is all. I can't confirm their sightin's...but I can state I know Natives who consider these animals to be real based on their own sightin's. An...like I said...this Native considers sasquatch/bigfoot a real thing...a as yet unclassified primate. Pat... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Thanks Pat! I think its cool that you are a Native researcher! I was raised very close to the Colville Indian Reservation. Jim Boyd in my last video was Sinixt or lake band Salish. He has recently passed away. Anyhow the belief in Sasquatch is very strong here..... But I also think that western tribes being subjated last and very recently, have been able to hold onto their beliefs better than their eastern cousins. But I simply posted the video because its cool. I like anthropology. We Europeans owe a debt of gratitude to Indians or First Nations people as they are called in Canada. They gave us myths and legends and stories about the land in which we now reside. Some whites know their family origins and traditions..... most do not. I can remember celebrating Potlatch in kindergarten! Also studying pre Christian cultures in northern Europe reminds me that we were not all that different at one time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBeaton Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Kinda sounds like it's what he's sayin' Twist, his many different Native friends don't think bigfoot is real. Thus his joke at norseman, try puttin' lead in a myth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 He referenced him and his N.A friends having a similar view on BF. He did not mention questioning N.A's on their BF belief. All my German friends love Sauerkraut. Does that mean 100% of Germans I queried love sauerkraut? No it does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBeaton Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Twist, He said non of his friends considered bigfoot real, indiefoot simply asked if that is the same response he got from all the Natives he asked. Your response reminds me to check the expiry date on my jar of sauerkraut in the fridge, haha, but...clearly you're suggestin' exactly what indiefoot was leadin' at I believe. Some of my Native friends do...some don't, some of my non Native friends do...some don't. norseman, Here's a dancer from Alert Bay last summer at Aboriginal Day here in Nanaimo, the Dzunukwa.

Then why did he comment in the first place? Does his claim that his native buddies don't believe in Bigfoot negate the dance on the video? Of course not. He is just a JREF troll running around our website stirring the pot.... if he gets a nut he immediately runs back to the JREF tree and shows them his catch, in which hopefully they give him atta boys and back slaps. I can tell you what the point of conversation is over there just by the subject of the threads he starts here. Its best just to ignore him. He is no friend of any of us here, nor our website. 29 minutes ago, PBeaton said: Twist, He said non of his friends considered bigfoot real, indiefoot simply asked if that is the same response he got from all the Natives he asked.

Very cool! This account of Sasquatch comes from a missionary staying with the Spokane tribe in 1840. http://www.bigfootencounters.com/classics/walker.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBeaton Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Here's a ol' report thanks to John Bindernagel, pg 36, The Discovery of the Sasquatch. Natives wouldn't go into the area knowin' what was there. Also as noted, the track find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you just answered your own question on why he commented in the first place. Worse than commenting in the first place is commenting and twisting his words, thats got more potential to fuel the fire than anything else.
