In 1968, a group of Native Americans set up camp on the Kootenai Plains near the North Saskatchewan River. They were soon joined by an unexpected neighbor - Bigfoot. The creatures were reportedly non-threatening, with one man even describing a chance encounter while he was chopping wood. In the fall, large tracks were found near the river, measuring 17 and 13 inches. In 1969, a large black figure was seen walking upright near the Columbia ice fields. Later that year, a dark figure was spotted near the Bighorn Dam construction site, estimated to be 12-15 feet tall. Investigators found no reason to doubt the men's accounts. The video includes photos of the tracks and an interview with one of the witnesses.
