OK. So if this report is taken at face value, the following stand out:
1) This Sasquatch – if that’s what it is – is wearing some clothing. I seem to remember old reports of British Columbian giants who have been seen wearing clothing, but I can’t recall the source of such reports. Have read ‘em though.
2) If I understand article correctly, the “mowgli” is actually carrying a lit lantern.
3) It speaks at least some intelligible English.

These items make sense if, as I understand the phenomenon, the Sasquatch has a part human pedigree through interbreeding as a part of its origin. While I believe that interbreeding with humans on the part of the current population is much rarer than in ancient times, I’m inclined to believe that on occasion it still does occur. In the case of this individual, a) inbreeding with a human may have taken place in a recent generation, or b) perhaps an abandoned juvenile individual was taken in for a time by a human family, only to leave when it became sexually mature/too wild to live with the host human family.

A very revealing report indeed. Thanks for posting.

According to Kipling, Mowgli means “little frog”.

Bigfoot speaks English….. That explains a lot. That’s why MMoneymaker can’t “find” him, because he can understand everything he is saying! And we all know that when MM talks, he hopes everyone within ear shot will hear everything he is saying!!! Time to bring in some Mexican researchers to finally break this mystery wide open!

Seems like an early example of Native American myth being incorporated into a larger, predominant, Anglo society. I doubt that anyone here would claim Sasquatch wears a loin cloth and speaks English; the interesting thing is how quickly Kipling’s work influenced an audience in BC.
