If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you've likely come across the YouTube channel "A Sci-Fi Guy." Recently, they posted a video about the Native American cultural connection to Sasquatch, and it's definitely worth a watch. The video starts off with the host discussing the challenges that some people pose when it comes to believing in Bigfoot. The lack of bones or corpses is often cited as evidence that Sasquatch doesn't exist. However, as the host points out, many animals are subject to predation and the elements, making it unlikely that a body would be preserved. But the real focus of the video is the Native American perspective on Sasquatch. For hundreds, if not thousands, of years, Native American tribes have shared stories of hairy wild men and creatures. These tales are not limited to North America, but can be found in other parts of the world as well. The host highlights a documentary featuring a young Native boy who had a close encounter with a Sasquatch. The boy knew what he saw and was not trying to gain fame or wealth from his experience. The host also notes that Native American tribes would not waste their time talking about a myth, and that Sasquatch is often depicted as the foundational creature in totem poles. One of the most interesting points made in the video is that when a totem pole is built, the base or foundational creature is always the most realistic and grounded. And, as the host notes, Sasquatch is often used as this foundational creature. The video ends with the host promising to do more research on the Native American angle of Sasquatch and encouraging viewers to do their own research as well. If you're interested in learning more about the Native American perspective on Sasquatch, this video is definitely worth a watch. The host does a great job of presenting the information in a casual and conversational style, making it easy to follow along. And, as always, the video encourages viewers to keep an open mind and to continue researching and learning about this fascinating creature.
