Colville Indian's Skanicum: A Dark, Tall Humanoid by the Columbia River

In a recent video from the YouTube channel TCC Research, we were introduced to the fascinating legend of the Wildman of the Colville Indians. According to the discussion, Sasquatch is known by various names among the tribes of the Colville reservation, and is always considered to be a human being, a member of their own species. The League band, for example, called him Scanicum, or Stick Indian. One story tells of a group of men who followed a Scanicum into a ravine, where they believed he turned himself into a tree. Since then, no native dares to chop down a tree with an ax, for fear of harming the elusive Scanicum. The discussion also mentions that Scanicum's natural camouflage allows him to blend in with the trees, making it difficult to spot him. Another story from June 1974, tells of several members who saw a dark-colored, upright creature near the Columbia River. At first, they thought it was a bear, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was something else. The creature walked in a pedal fashion, stooped slightly forward with its arms swinging, and had a sloping forehead that sat squarely on its shoulders, with no visible neck. When two of the witnesses moved closer for a better look, the creature stopped, turned its body, and stared at them before disappearing into the trees. The video also touches on the subject of the creature's natural camouflage, which allows it to blend in with its surroundings, making it difficult to spot. This is a fascinating aspect of Sasquatch biology, and one that has been studied by researchers for years. It's worth noting that the video discussion also mentions that the Colville Indians believed Sasquatch to be a human being, a member of their own species. This is an interesting perspective, and one that challenges the idea of Sasquatch as a mere animal or beast.
