Bigfoot
For over a 150 years man has been troubled by one great mystery, a mystery that has baffled all who have witnessed it and all who have tried to solve it. This mystery is commonly known as Bigfoot, a tall hairy man/ape who lurks in the woods in almost every country on this planet. Some say it is just an ape, some believe it is a man in costume, and others are true believers of this hairy phenomenon. For more than a decade and a half this creature of myth has caused enormous contradictions in the field of science, bringing about one question. Does Bigfoot exist?
Throughout the 150 year history of Bigfoot many concerns have raised, the most in number have been from Native Americans. The Karok Indians tell of an “upslope person”

These people have given detail of its features and characteristics. Bigfoot is described to have a rancid odor which is smelt from miles away. It can weight up to 1,000 pounds and it reach higher than eight feet in length (Gaffron, 16). Its footprints tell a lot about Bigfoot as well, from them scientists deduce his extremely wide strides of six to eight feet, the four inch to 24 inch foot size, and the unusual disproportionate width of the ball of its feet (Fahrenbach). With all its obvious differences Bigfoot also shares common traits with primates, for example the hair some bone structure, and a minimum mental capacity.
From the United States to China people have reported seeing what they believe is Bigfoot. These encounters may or may not be true; one cannot know for certain the truth of such questionable things, the only thing that can be done is to keep an open mind. The most common sightings occur in remote regions in northern and southern California, by people claiming to see huge, hairy human-like creatures. Most people that see a Bigfoot don’t know what they’ve seen, let alone know it’s something worth reporting. These are some examples of sightings which have been recorded. In 1958, while flying a private plane over Bluff creek, a husband and wife see Bigfoot tracks, they follow them until they are above the Bigfoot. On April 16, 1969 Mrs. Robert Behme sees a Bigfoot limp across a road in
Performing extensive research, I located and listened to any recording I could locate of a Bigfoot speaking. Mary Green’s book “50 Years with Bigfoot: Tennessee Chronicles of Co-Existence” was also used as a reference. Mary had compiled a dictionary of “Bigfoot” words, along with phrases based on a notebook kept by Janice Carter.
Surround in their environment that you slept at for a night in your tent you set up, smelling the smoke you put out last night before you got into your beanbag then suddenly as you went to go wash up in the river you hear a loud moaning sound that doesn’t sound like any other animal you heard before. Bigfoot is a cryptid creature which actually been reported before. Cryptozoology study Cryptid, meaning an animal whose existence or survival disputed or unsubstantiated. Bigfoot is a story that was found in the Pacific Northwest coastal Indian tribes that they tell one another. The name Bigfoot was first recorded by Americans in the late 19th century which was also known as Chief Big Foot. Bigfoot sighting one-third of all claims are located in
Big Foot was the chief of a subtribe of the Lakota called Miniconjou. He was very old and had pneumonia. He was taking his tribe to the Pine Ridge Reservation in south-western South Dakota.
The tale of Bigfoot or Sasquatch traces its origins back to the Native American tribes of the Northwestern part of the United States and Canada. The natives told this tale of a group of giant hairy wild ape-man like people that protect the forests to give reason for respecting nature and preserve order. Bigfoot sightings have spread throughout the United States and the world. Our fascination with this creature have spiraled into almost mass hysteria among people to find and prove this creature is real. I decided to observe and analyze the film Bigfoot.
Bigfoot is NOT real. There is no evidence that he is part human, there is no DNA evidence, and there is no valid video or picture evidence that proves he is real. He is just a legend that has been passed down for years. It’s impossible for something that is 7-10 feet tall, covered in fur, and lives in the woods can survive for so long.
The Blackfoot People are one of the many Native American Indian tribes that roamed America in the early 1700s. Like many tribes they were nomadic hunters that lived in the Great Plains of Montana and the Canadian provinces of Alberta. The name is said to have come from the colour of the peoples shoes that were made of leather. They had typically dyed or painted the soles of their shoes black.
Bigfoot is a mythical legend that lives in the pacific northwest. Many people believe that Bigfoot is real, and others deny the existence of Bigfoot. People have made a living in trying to find Bigfoot. Animal Planet used to air a show called “Finding Bigfoot.”. There are multiple books about Bigfoot, numerous clubs, and many people dedicated to find the elusive Bigfoot. To become a Bigfoot quester you will need to obtain the knowledge of how the myth of Bigfoot surfaced, what Bigfoot is, and the evidence behind Bigfoot.
Bigfoot (or “Sasquatch”) is a tall, dark haired cryptid humanoid that has become a mystery to the American people. Unfortunately, many believe that the furry beast is simply a hoax, while others know what they saw in the mysterious forest. Based on countless discoveries, Bigfoot has existed at some point. Considering the proof presented by dedicated Bigfoot scientists and fans, totally debunking the controversial topic of Bigfoot would seem ignorant. Perhaps people are not digging deep enough to find the creature.
Black Elk was born in 1863 in Wyoming (“Black Elk”). He would later become the Oglala Lakota holy man (“Black Elk – 1863-1950”). Chief Crazy Horse led a group of Sioux Native Americans in government resistance. Being Black Elk’s second cousin, Black Elk was able to closely see the actions of the government towards the Native Americans. In May of 1877, Chief
Bigfoot, is he real or is he just a myth and hoax. Some call it Bigfoot and others call it Sasquatch, but no matter what you call he is real and not just a hoax. The legend of Bigfoot goes as far back as ancient Indian tribes. There is not a lot of evidence on Bigfoot's existence how ever the evidence that does exist is enough to convince people that he is real. If you don't believe in Bigfoot im not going to tell you that you are wrong, I just want to tell the other side and hopefully convince the non believers that Bigfoot is not a hoax. There are certain things that one should hear about Bigfoot before making the conclusion that he is fake. Bigfoot is just a large bipedal ape, who can be traced back to other bipedal apes who existed hundreds of years ago.
Though today, the Blackfoot territory is defined by reserve/reservation boundaries and divided by the United States-Canadian border, their homeland, Nitawahsinnanni (“our land”), continues to be defined by topographical features using their language (The Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 12). This traditional homeland spans from the North Saskatchewan River (Ponokasisahta, the Elk River) as far south as the Yellowstone River, Montana (Otahkoitahtayi) and from the Rocky Mountains as far East as the “Great Sand Hills
In my second counter argument, I used the movie The Ghost of Bigfoot to show that Bigfoot was seen as a horrific creature during that time period. The main issue with this counter argument is that it does not directly refute my belief of Bigfoot being a comic relief in the 21st century. The whole basis of my argument deals with how Bigfoot’s representation changed from horrific to comical over time, so a counter argument expressing that Bigfoot was horrific in the 20th century is irrelevant for this paper. This counter argument is basically just another supporting point because it does not even show how movies and television shows could be a comic relief in the 20th century. One solution that can fix this counter argument is to create a different counter argument. A “new” counter argument could talk about how Bigfoot is a horrific creature in the 21st century rather than a comical relief. For example, the movie Exists, portrays Bigfoot as horrific and killing beast that terrorizes people in the woods (Exists). This new counter argument makes my argument stronger because it is a direct refute of what is being argued in the paper, which that Bigfoot’s representation being comical in current
The Bigfoot name has been documented throughout history. Ancient native americans have writing and pottery with a Bigfoot type creature painted and or carved into them. This proves that Bigfoot has been seen for many years. Americans today describe Bigfoot in the same way as the native americans; tall, hairy, and man like. This proves that we aren't the only ones who have seen Bigfoot. Also, around 1 to 9 million years ago a Bigfoot like creature called the Gigantopithecus did exist. This means that the gigantopithecus could have evolved into what we all now know as Bigfoot.
Now everyone has their own image of what big foot looks like, but by the research and a few of his appearances caught on camera he was very hairy all over, half human and of course had very big feet. Now by these qualities you would wonder what type of nemesis Bigfoot has but sadly his nemesis is unknown.
What did the early American pioneers see when traveling the uninhabited wilderness of the early 1800’s? Could they have be seeing a black bear standing momentarily on its hind legs or was it actually what we now call Bigfoot today (“The Canadian Encyclopedia”). The origin of Bigfoot dates even further back to Native American myths portraying a large aggressive ape like animal walking on its hind legs eating children and animals (“New World Encyclopedia”). Since then there have been thousands of reports of supposed Bigfoot sightings including footprints, photos, videos and the actual carcass of a deceased Bigfoot. For over 80 years scientist have been discrediting the thought of the existence of Bigfoot, but throughout time scientist have
