High Desert Museum Exhibit: Indigenous Artists' Perspectives on Sasquatch

A new art exhibit is challenging visitors to view Sasquatch through a lens of indigenous artists, and it's a must-see for any Bigfoot enthusiast. The exhibit, titled "Sensing Sasquatch," features the work of five indigenous artists from various tribes, including the Chahalis Coast Salish, Unog Nation Beaver Clan, Yakama, and Navajo Nation. The exhibit aims to convey the rich cultural connection that tribes have with Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, and the admiration and respect that these beings have been given for centuries. The artists share their interpretations and stories of Sasquatch, providing a unique perspective on this elusive and mysterious creature. One of the artists, Rocky Lorac, is a carver from British Columbia in Canada. He shares that the Sasquatch is called "saset um" in his village and is held in the highest respect. According to Lorac, if you see the Sasquatch, it's because he has allowed you to see him. Lorac has carved a mask for the exhibit, which he describes as a traditional understanding of Bigfoot. He explains that the Sasquatch is a transformer and shape-shifter, and this is reflected in his art. Another artist, Frank Buffalo Hyde, is a painter, mixed media sculptor, and art writer from Northfield, Minnesota. He shares that the Sasquatch is a very highly respected being in his culture and that the sensationalized version of Sasquatch in pop culture does not compare to the indigenous cultural knowledge. The exhibit is currently on display at the High Desert Museum in Oregon, and it's a great opportunity to learn more about the cultural significance of Sasquatch in indigenous communities. So, if you're a Bigfoot believer or a fan of indigenous art, be sure to check out the "Sensing Sasquatch" exhibit.
