And yes, they wouldn't have any lawyers among their midst, but there are never shortages of homo sapiens lawyers (especially of the environmental type) who would love to represent them. If any part of our government admitted to the existence of Sasquatch, they would ABSOLUTELY be considered an indigenous people and would likely also be considered some sort of "uncontacted tribe." Legions of groups would step forward to lobby on their behalf and instead of just a small island being off-limits to visitation (as in the case of some uncontacted tribes), gigantic tracts of lands could theoretically be closed permanently. The closure of public and private lands would be like nothing we've ever seen before. It could be an economic Armageddon. 1
