I’ve read this about tobacco before, in Nobody Meets Bigfoot by Marian T. Place. Quite a pleasant read, if you need to kill a couple hours. Could this possibly be related (in a spiritual sense) to the Irish leaving cream and fruit on their doorsteps for the fae to keep themselves safe from mischief?

To add a couple more things:
1. Many people live in trailers, and if anyone knows trailers, the windows can be very high above ground.
2. Oglala Nation Fair/Powwow is going on this weekend, which means there is going to be a lot of people in PR. (Doesn’t seem like Bigfoot will be coming around anytime soon… but who knows?)
3. I’ve heard through the grapevine that some of the police officers went to ceremony to find out what to do about the Bigfoot situation. They said to anyone thats not scared to place food and tobacco out for the Bigfoot as a notion to “go away and leave us be”

Well I would like to say that I live near the Oglala rez and my mom is from Pine Ridge. I don’t know what is going on there, but it really should be taken as credible. I know and respect my culture. But when it comes to something like Bigfoot, you may hear many different things. Everyone on the rez has their own opinion about this creature. Some say its a sacred spirit that brings good luck, others say its appearence brings bad news. Then again others say its a dimensional creature. The point is that we all know something is there, we just don’t know what and why its here. Whether its a physical creature or spiritual being. Anyone can state the obvious and the apparent dubiety. But from an American Indian’s POV its usually taken as spiritual. With this being said, I honestly doubt the natives on the rez would want “notoriety” for something like this. In sense we are generally a private people. I’m not trying to persuade anyone to believe or disbelieve, I just wanted to state one’s point of view on the happenings. I live close and have been going back and forth (everyday) to the rez for the past several days. And yes I am worried that I might see something that I maybe don’t want to see just yet…

There have been more reports of mountain lions in central South Dakota. The animals they follow for food are, surprisingly enough, moving away from the west where the fires are and heading east. It would only seem logical that the mountain lions would follow.

Finally, you are also correct that the local paper is sending a reporter to check out the Bigfoot allegations based upon what has been printed on this site. I live near the Pine Ridge Reservation and have sent the articles here to other people who live around here and near the reservation, and no one seems to know any stories about any supposed Bigfoots running around. But at least I can be quite sure that if they are around, they are headed east because of the fires, so I’m hopeful that maybe I too can spot one of these very soon.

About the time the BF was sighted would have been a new moon, or slightly on the wax, which makes sense to move about, if you are an animal, not hoaxing human with relatively bad night vision.

I think what everyone is seeing on the lion is what mass she has left in the pair of ambulatory muscles in her leg, The two muscles needed to swing her leg forward and back. although #17 Jeremy Wells makes a good point about the aid of that weed..

well, he hit it right on the head, hot weather and fires. Always makes any of the animals go a little off. I say it that way only because obviously there hasn’t been this many reports at one time. just looking for food, cool place and safety

Now, see, this really burns my backside. Those cougars weren’t doing a blessed thing to any human. They have more right to be there than any one of our species. Throw the poor things a steak or two, not a bullet.

On a more positive note…I agree that Native American accounts seem more reliable than most media. All these sightings in such rapid succession…I must say, I’m inclined to think it’s a bear or two scared down by the fires. I’m not ruling anything out, mind, just seems rather likely.

The weed in front of the cat leg made me do a double take too. It sort of “splits” the rear leg where it attaches to the hip. A valuable lesson in observation that.

Sad how emaciated the poor critter is. Almost a mercy that it was put out of its misery.
