You’re right rberning, you have to build trust, before they will say anything, and yes, they’re not looking for monetary gain when they do tell you.

I lived in Porcupine, SD last year, on the Pine Ridge Reservation. My relatives had many sightings of bigfoot. They were afraid of it. My nephew saw it looking into the window of my house where he was spending the night. We went outside to check, and the window is about seven feet off the ground. My sister in law saw it one time at night riding in a car, when they turned the corner and the headlights flashed on it. Nobody there is trying to make money off this. They know it is a spirit being, half in this world, half in the spirit world, that’s why you don’t ever see any bones. Those bigfoot stink bad, you can smell them sometimes out in the country, at night. I heard many stories of bigfoot. Maybe some of them were made up stories, but usually the lakota people don’t fool around with lying about spirits–that would come back on you in a bad way.

Among the siuox tribes Bigfoot is a spiritual being that one sees from time to time and shouldn’t be bothered. It is responsible for plants that are medicinal or sacred. Local lore tells of many spottings around nebraska but you wont hear it unless you are trusted among the people.

You are so right, Sky King, about “parlay (ing it) into a little cash”. It seems at times that there are so many competing interests that Squatchy couldn’t possibly come out the winner.

There will be no great wave of people flocking to the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Not the least because this reservation is one of the most miserable poverty pockets in all of America. If the Ogala can parlay this into a little cash, who could begrudge it of them?

In fact, if memory serves–and the Bords are correct–sightings in this general area date from the mid-1970s.

There will be no great wave of people flocking to the Pine Ridge Reservation. Besides the nature of accomodations being in short supply, and the rural setting of such a journey (it’s not a tourist mecca), people coming into the area are closely watched by a federal government that is not interested in another take-over as occurred in 1973, at Wounded Knee, SD.

Bigfoot hunters coming to the Pine Ridge Reservation will stick out like a sore thumb.

I agree, even if they take it seriously, think about the general public. If they don’t scoff and make fun at us and the idea of big foot, then an unknown number may flock to the area and at the very least chase off whatever or whoever may be there.

When the press and the armchair news junkies stop ridiculing those who speak up about what they have seen then we can get some real research done and investigate sightings sooner.

For now keep the press out of it.
