Ancient Roots
The name Sasquatch comes from the Coast Salish word “Sasq’ets,” describing a wild, hairy forest dweller. Native American tribes across the West told stories of large, powerful beings who lived in the woods, watching and occasionally interacting with humans. They were symbols of nature’s raw force and mystery.

Modern Legend
In the 1950s, reports of giant footprints and sightings in the Pacific Northwest gave rise to Bigfoot mania. The famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, showing a tall, ape-like creature walking through the woods, catapulted the myth into the mainstream. Despite debates over authenticity, the footage remains iconic.

Enduring Power
Bigfoot symbolizes both our fear and reverence for the unknown. Sightings persist to this day, especially in the wooded regions of the American Southwest and Pacific Northwest. He remains a cryptid hero—a guardian of untamed wilderness and a reflection of mankind’s ongoing battle with mystery.
