Sasquatch: Legends of the First Peoples
Book Two: Giants, Wild People, and Forest Beings
By Timothy D

Across North America, ancient stories describe enormous beings living beyond the familiar trails. But what if some were describing something real?

Long before the modern Bigfoot phenomenon, Indigenous peoples told of mysterious giants, wild people and forest inhabitants. Some were enormous, hair-covered figures walking upright. Others were guardians, spiritual beings or inhabitants of remote mountains and valleys.

Their names differed. Their appearances varied. Yet certain descriptions have survived for generations.

Could these traditions preserve memories of encounters with an unidentified creature?

In Sasquatch: Legends of the First Peoples - Book Two: Giants, Wild People, and Forest Beings, wildlife field researcher Timothy D continues his investigation into one of North America's most enduring mysteries.

Drawing upon Indigenous traditions, historical publications, eyewitness testimony and more than twenty years of field experience, he examines accounts from across the continent.

The journey begins in Washington State, where Suquamish Elder and forestry manager David Mills reportedly encountered five enormous, hair-covered figures.

The investigation then moves through northern forests, the Great Plains, Great Lakes, Appalachian Mountains and southeastern United States.

Discover the traditions explored in Book Two:

• The Blackfeet Imoitapi: Mysterious wilderness beings of Blackfeet country.

• The Yup'ik Miluquyuliq: Inhabitants of Alaska's remote river valleys.

• The Choctaw Hattak Chito: A mysterious giant of the southeastern forests.

• The Anishinaabe Sabe: A figure connected with honesty and traditional teachings.

• The Cherokee Tsul'Kalu: A legendary mountain giant.

• The Lakota and Dakota: Traditions of powerful giants and humanlike beings.

• The Three Affiliated Tribes: Beings whose significance extends beyond the physical world.

• The Seminole Esti Capcaki: Mysterious wilderness inhabitants of Florida.

Timothy D compares historical descriptions with modern Sasquatch reports, examining similarities in height, body hair, strength, facial features and behaviour.

Some accounts resemble modern Bigfoot sightings. Others reveal spiritual and cultural meanings that cannot simply be reduced to unidentified animals.

Could both kinds of accounts hold important clues?

As a skeptical believer, Timothy D examines the evidence while remaining open to the possibility that an unidentified humanlike creature inhabits North America's wilderness.
