Sasquatch: Fact or Fiction?
Sasquatch is an unexplainable phenomenon that allegedly lives in the northwestern region of the United States. Many people claim to have seen this beast. Most others believe it is just a prank. However, there is no question that the dense forests of Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia are said to be home to the mighty, ever elusive creature, commonly known as Bigfoot. The existence of Sasquatch is plausible because of the dense forests which are located in the Northwestern region of the United States. There is a mountain of data comprised of facts, conjectures, and opinions both against and for the existence of Sasquatch.
This creature, which stands between seven and ten feet tall, is said to have an intimidating appearance which one will never forget. Sasquatch, who can weigh up to a whopping six hundred pounds, is covered in shaggy reddish-brown hair covering its entire body. Sasquatch has abnormally long muscular arms which, according to eyewitness reports, fall to just above its knees. Reports of Bigfoot describe it as having both female and male reproductive parts, which suggests it is possibly a primitive hominid. This of course means the creature has children the same way as humans do. Sasquatch is recognized to live far away from humans, deep within forests, so it can easily stay away from con...

My first reason why the northeast region is the best is it has many very important historical landmarks. For example it has the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Statue of Liberty. Best of all that's not them all! Once when I was little, I went to the Washington Monument and was so cool, there were artifacts, stories, cool information. It basically had everything. That is why I think we have the best landmarks scattered all over the Northeast

Before contact with Europeans, the Kickapoo lived in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan in the area between Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. Beginning in the 1640s, the Algonquin tribes in this region came under attack from the east, first by the Ottawa and Iroquian-speaking Neutrals, and then the Iroquois. By 1658 the Kickapoo had been forced west into southwest Wiscon...
One night, one of the parents hear some screaming and sounds, like a howling. The next morning, when they began to search the area, around the house, they saw some footprints in the mud, they were very large and real. Something
What is clear though, before the Europeans began to settle the North American continent in mass, the Bigfoot were not reclusive. They interacted with the indigenous tribes and were a known tribe or society. After the arrival of the Europeans and the decimation of the Native American tribes, the Bigfoot became more elusive and adopted their current set of rules to stay hidden to the general public at almost any cost. Occasionally, a Bigfoot would be spotted. In a few rare cases, juveniles would even be captured.

“I would have never guessed in a million years that you would have told me there were Bigfoot near me. Right? So, I want to know what’s going on. Is this for real?” Carson questioned.
In Werner Herzog’s documentary film Grizzly Man, Herzog follows the expeditions and life of Timothy Treadwell, a man bent on conserving the lives of grizzly bears in Alaska The film constantly puts Timothy Threadwell’s extreme passion towards a life threatening animal and the real motive behind his wild and dangerous living style in debate with commentary voiceovers from the editor Werner Herzog. It gives you a realistic feeling towards who these people in the film really are, including Timothy and the people in various relations to him by using the footage that is usually cut off during the interviews. It also shows you some of the rarest shots of life interactions between humans and bears that could not be found elsewhere.
The fact that there might be a Bigfoot-like animal walking through our forests today sparks imagination, but has there been enough information that we can conclude that there is an animal that has not been identified? The name Sasquatch is derived from native names of the word "Sésquac", meaning "wild man" for a creature found in the coastal area of the Pacific Northwest (Lindemans). There are over sixty different Native American terms for the Sasquatch. The Cherokee call it Kecleh-Kudleh, meaning “Hairy Savage” (Franzoni, Glickman). Evidence for the existence of the Sasquatch is based on references in Indian legend and myth, in passages from journals kept by early travelers and in modern sightings (Colombo).

Maybe, one time you were camping in the woods. You saw something, lurking in the woods. You saw something unlike anything you’ve ever seen before in your life. You think it looked like the legendary Bigfoot. You know, the one you watched those Animal Planet shows on. You didn’t really believe what those guys were saying. You thought those guys were just talking crazy for thinking it was real. Maybe one time, you were on the lake. You saw something that looked like a log, swimming across the lake. You thought nothing of it. You didn’t think it might have been the Loch Ness Monster. It could have been the one they have the History Channel documentaries on. Maybe you saw a coyote looking thing attacking a farmers goat. You didn’t think much of it, thought you would be crazy to think it was a supposed “Chupacabra”. Cryptid animals have been a big part in American culture, from making TV shows about them to being a cultural phenomenon.
However, recently scientists have taken a more active approach in these astonishing human-like beasts to discover if this great species is, in fact, more than mere legend, but a remarkably elusive reality. Though the idea is still very controversial, many groups and organizations worldwide have dedicated their efforts to discover the truth. Over the past twenty-two years, the Bigfoot Field Research Organization, or the BFRO, has worked diligently on helping to prove Bigfoot’s existence. Through field research, interviewing witnesses, and genetically testing evidence, the BFRO has helped to shed some light on the existence of Bigfoot and to prove skeptics wrong. Bigfoot has often been joked as a “myth” or “a large bear on two legs,” far too long. Bigfoot is, in fact, a real living creature who has captivated the beliefs and minds of millions of human beings
The Comanche have most recently been found in the Southern Plains, which stretches from Nebraska to the northern part of Texas. They were fully in Texas by the 1700’s. It is believed that the Comanche derived from the Shoshone Indians, found in Wyoming. The language spoken by the Comanche is actually a form of Uto-Aztecan language that when compared to the Shoshone language, the two are very similar. The Comanche’s were great warriors and did not really indulge in religious practices too much nor did they use folktales or legends very often.
