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 …show more content…
Although the specifics of Bigfoot may be vague, almost every culture has had its own stories regarding the human-like creatures that roam the world.
Throughout the years of Sasquatch sightings all of them vaguely gave a similar description of what we think we know what the animal looks like today. Sasquatch has very long arms with an ape like face and a flat noise. Its footprints can range between 16-20 in. An adult Sasquatch can be as tall as 11ft while a juvenile Sasquatch is about 7ft tall (Lindemans). They are known to have several inches of reddish brown or black hair with an occasional patch of white or grey hair (“Bigfoot Sasquatch”). Sasquatch is heard to make a distinct hair rising howl or scream (“Animal Planet”). Habitats are normally remote mountains to state wooded parks or swampland but there has been few exceptions where they have been spotted on public highways (“Bigfoot Habitat”). Dr Nina G. Jablonski says, "Apes are big bodied creatures but more importantly they have big brains. In order to supply their brains with energy, they need to eat very nutrient rich foods. How can these animals live in an area with such poor high quality foods”(“HowStuffWorks”). The description of Sasquatch and its habitat is derived from a collaboration of thousands of eyewitness reports from the entire continent, some of astounding length and detail.
There have been hundreds of sightings of Sasquatch but the first sighting was by white men in 1811.
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.
Big foot first world wide appearance in literature, drama,and etc.. began in the year of 1811. Some of Big foot’s top 10 most popular books are “The Field Guide To Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates”,”So You Want To Catch A Bigfoot?” ,” Raincoast Sasquatch”,”Bigfoot Observer's Field Manual “, and etc. Not only were his books booming worldwide his movies were too “Abominable” ,“Bigfoot” , and Willow Creek were a few of his most popular movies.
“There was a bigfoot print outside my home” stated Jerry Crew, little did he know what an impact he made as the entire country searched for the big hairy creature known as Bigfoot. Bigfoot ( also known as a sasquatch or a yeti) are the big hairy ape-man with 800 pounds on ‘em These creatures have been seen in many cultures, each modified to their beliefs. For example, a Native American myth goes as a similar creature but it's terrorizing villages and in present American story goes as a hairy man-like thing living in the woods. For the last decade, many people have been searching for this monster which reflects our -thesis-
The quest began when Bigfoot was captured on film for the first time by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. In the year of 1967, the two men were out in a remote mountainous location in Northern California. After Patterson heard about the tracks found near Bluff Creek, he was determined to make a documentary about the mysteries of the Sasquatch. Buoyant, he rented a 16mm movie camera and went to the area in question with his comrade, Bob Gimlin. He caught the beast on camera casually strolling through an open clearing, staring at Patterson filming while continuing to walk. The film became known as the Patterson-Gimlin film. According to Animal Planet, "The Patterson-Gimlin film is widely regarded as one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the existence of Sasquatches,” (“The Patterson-Gimlin footage”).
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.
All humans are interested in their origins and trying to account for their existence through creation stories. Native Americans tribes are no different from the rest of humanity. The tribes’ stories explain how people came into existence, how they came to be live on the lands they do and the how people interact with nature and each other. These trends can be seen in the legends of three tribes hailing from New England to the Great Lakes Region.
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.
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
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.
The Loch ness monster myth has been around for a very long time. Deep down in the depths of Loch Ness Lake, this monster has been averting capture and clear documentation from humans for over 80 years. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? This myth is a lot like the legend of Bigfoot. Although some may believe in the existence of Bigfoot, Bigfoot is not real because there is a lack of evidence, other theories, and it overall just isn’t logical. Therefore, Bigfoot is fake.
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”

Bigfoot exists because there have been over 5163 reports considered credible by the Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) in the US and Canada alone. Bigfoot hasn’t been proven to exist because a large animal like him would want to be as far away as possible from humans because we create a competition that it can’t compete with. Therefore Bigfoot has been driven into remote areas where the people in that area don’t have access to the resources to be able to report sightings which causes a lack of vital information in being able to determine the range of where the bigfoots live and what kind of environment they prefer. There is a trend that Bigfoot sightings increase in occurrence in and around military bases and other large areas of land with restricted access to the general public.
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.
If I one day became Bigfoot and I had to go into hiding I would have to choose to hide somewhere in Alaska. The reason I choose to hide in Alaska is because I have always wanted to visit Alaska. Besides that the real main reasons are that on I have some much fur and if it is always cold outside I will be perfectly fine in the cold temp. Next I would live just anywhere out of the way of any civilization, nobody would try to find me because it would be way too cold in some part of Alaska that no one would want to try and find me. Also going with me wanting to visit Alaska I would be living in a beautiful area in some part of Alaska according to some of my once friend because I am Bigfoot and some may not like me and some still would because they
