Have you heard of Tom Seawood and his YouTube channel, Sasquatch Island? If not, you're in for a treat. Tom is a passionate Sasquatch researcher who has spent over 26 years of his life living in the bush and working as a commercial fisherman. His experiences in the wilderness have given him a unique perspective on Sasquatch and its place in Native American culture.
In a recent video, Tom discusses the idea that if we ever conclusively prove the existence of Sasquatch, the United States will have to recognize it as a third indigenous tribe. This is a fascinating concept that highlights the importance of Sasquatch in Native American beliefs and traditions.
Tom also talks about the name "Sasquatch" and how it is derived from the Native American word "Sasq'ets," which means "hairy man" in the Halkomelem language. He explains that every tribe in North America has stories or names for Sasquatch, and that they all refer to the same creature.
One of the most interesting parts of the video is when Tom discusses the Native American perspective on Sasquatch. He explains that for many tribes, Sasquatch is not just a creature, but a spiritual being with its own world. Tom shares a story from the Haisla Nation, which calls Sasquatch "Wham through," and describes it as a four-foot-tall bipedal hair-covered creature that is the Keeper of the ghost world.
Tom also talks about the impact of European colonization on Native American beliefs and traditions, and how it has led to a loss of knowledge about Sasquatch. He encourages everyone to learn more about Native American perspectives on Sasquatch and to respect their beliefs and traditions.
