The American Bigfoot is a bigfoot that dominates mountainous regions, cave systems and forests throughout North and South America in Native folklore. [1] They are considered cryptids by mainstream science and real as hell to the indigenous people of "Turtle Island" (Before America was "America"). Eye witness reports in the North West, describe the American Bigfoot as large, hairy, bipedal humanoids.[2]
Where are they?[]
The grounds of the United States of America and Canada are saturated in the blood of Colonial and Civil Wars. Many of the bigfoot listed below have likely been killed off and their remains covered up over time, thanks to the Smithsonian Institution and the backing of US government support. As far as "cleanup" in Canada is concerned, more research is required. The Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest seem to have quietly survived, as there are present day sightings; probably having taken refuge in cave-systems of the Cascade Range.
- Note
Using the Grand Canyon National Park as an example of US coverup, the National Park Service uses ARPA (Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979) to stall and deny requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act; and if you get any documentation at all, it’s redacted as hell.
- Think about it
Do we just write off the natives once again?—who have occupied pre North America (a land mass of 9.54 million mi²) for thousands of years, divided in thousands of groups (clans/tribes) and yet all have in common the “tall man”? See growing comprehensive name list here.
