The Native Bigfoot

Thumbnail art by Ettore Mazza Original music by Ryan Probert (@ProbeComposer) and featuring Naomi Sullivan on Saxophone I want to apologize for some of the mispronunciations in my video. Spreadsheet Link: Original 1929 Magazine Sasquatch Article (pg. 6): I do want to clarify that the beliefs held by the Yokuts that I present in this video are little simplified. After several conversations with the representative, they further explained to me that the Yokuts believe that the Hairy Man is a tribe of people, a tribe of spiritual people that can walk in both worlds: in the spirit and in flesh-and-blood. They are endowed with the abilities to transform, speak, and heal. The Yokuts explicitly do NOT believe them to be ape-like/Sasquatch-like creatures. The interpretation of the Hairy Man held by Bigfooters is simply incorrect and does not reflect the actual beliefs of the Yokuts.
