wiiawiwb, In this romantic notion, who are the first recognized peoples of north America ? " I'm Native American even though there isn't a drop of Indian blood in me." What nationality are your parents ? I ask, because I am Native American, my Mother as a child was put in the Residential Schools, as was her sister an brother. If you think bein' Native is some BS, you are mistaken ! So do tell, how are you Native ? So...I'll ask...how do you figure you are Native wiiawb...without a drop of Native blood in you ? Pat... norseman, I myself have been grateful for those who net salmon out here, an I guarantee if someone nails 10 deer, it gets shared, startin' with the elders or those in need. Those who are successful , share, I reckon you would do the same norseman, it is the ol' school way. Pat...

Not only that, but they routinely report their observations to others. Would that be what is disparaged as "anecdotal?"

There is nothing old school about.

I have yet to have it explained to me how an encounter that is the result of altered states, imagination, or hallucination can at the same time leave large footprints. While altered states, imagination, and hallucination is always at play in the human mind, when an event leaves physical traces like footprints, or broken off trees intended to frighten off the human, only a ardent skeptic can conclude it is not a physical event. We have many many sighting reports which followup investigation reveals footprints where the BF was seen walking. Those who think BF a product of a imaginative mind have to also conclude that the human involved is capable of telekinesis for that imagination to create physical footprints at the same time. If such people exist, I would like an introduction and a trip to a casino roulette table to cash in.

It seems consistent with SOME Native American beliefs. I have no problem with that. However, it's not the whole answer. As much as folks .. maybe like you, or maybe not .. might wish, what I saw was real. Process this: delusions and illusions do not leave castable footprints nor produce recordable vocalizations. While there is no proof they are "bigfoot" since we lack proof of bigfoot, **something** made them and it is not any known animal. Something "unknown" **is** out there. That is fact. You, or others, may deny, but will be wrong if you do. MIB
