They must have systematically eradicated the ones that were in the area. EIther that or the snakes got tired of being flooded out of their burrows by all the rain. I wonder what their oral history says about that? I think it almost criminal that historians did not spend more time with the NA getting their oral histories before the culture was lost. Rattlesnakes like warmth. I do not have any rattlesnakes on my north facing ranch. 1/2 mile to the south? Step carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I take it by north facing ranch that must be in relation to a mountain range??? Cause any ranch, house, person etc. is directional based on what side you place the front door lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted May 2, 2019 Admin Share Posted May 2, 2019 Well. As a matter of fact my porch does face north. But the 350 acres resides mostly on the north face of a mountain and a creek bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think 350 acres is enough to be home to a Sasquatch, definitely 4000. Edited May 2, 2019 by NatFoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it almost criminal that historians did not spend more time with the NA getting their oral histories before the culture was lost. The oral histories have been put in print. You have to spend days researching. The Natural History Library at the University of Washington has histories of Puget Sound tribes as in Siwash, and a large collection of stories from British Columbia. I do not know if they have been digitized. Takes time to go through any of it. 'Pack a lunch' type of mission. The Bella Coola and Haida groups have long histories. For example, good accounts of when Raven stole the sun and such. I think my favorite story comes from the Bella Coola: "The Fern Gatherers". Simple story speaks volumes.

You guys are making claims that there are records of BF, from NA, that are not being accurately captured. Who is taking up that fight? I'd imagine someone with NA ancestry would do that? Or, some have tried and it's a lost cause. I'd assume it's not a lost cause but more of a, what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the Masters of Scientism will accept nothing but a fresh, bleeding carcass. You can bring them a video of a sasquatch ripping a small tree out of the ground and throwing it a hundred yards. No ribbon, no medal, no go. Native oral histories? The Scientism gods will denigrate it in ways that appear racist and get away with it as smooth as silk. It simply will be no other way. They want a carcass, they want it delivered, it must be free, and they must be able to denigrate the killer as a cretin with no morals. Any other "discovery" will be unacceptable.
