day out of my bigfoot life

[steve a]

i woke up from my nap, when the sun was up high in the sky, and saw the big black birds soaring , over our kill from last nights hunting, i see the elder did not hide the remains of the kill again, so it was up to me to do this again and again , the elder is getting along in years, and lost some of his ability to run the clan, i am as of now 30 winters old and the elder has seen 65 winters, but that is no excuse to leave us in danger , i am in next in line to take over the leadership, when the elder goes to the big sleep,
i am awake and i must do what i can to protect our large family from the humans, the little obnoxious people, i will have to use all my skill to hide from them and hide the remains in the bone yard we started years ago, the remains was from a large female deer we had surrounded and killed easy ,by laying wait at the side of a large over grown evergreen tree with its branches all the way to the ground, two of the hunters herded it towards me as i lay on my stomach under the branches, and as it came running by, i reach out quietly and grabbed it by the back legs and twisted them backward, til i heard the snap of the bones, and quickly reached up to the head and twisted it til it broke the neck, and flipped it over and started to dress it out with a sharp stone i carry for this, me and my two partners carried the meat to the clan while the elder was to get rid of the remains, i snuck up the trail for about a mile and hid under a different evergreen tree, and watched and listened for any thing out of the ordinary, and it seem all to quiet to me, so i waited some more, when i knew thru my 6 sense that all was ok, i ran quickly and grab the remains, and traveled back down the mountain side to our bone yard, using a stick and sharping it with my big strong teeth, i dug the ground up, and layed the remains in the hole and covered it back up with loose soil, and tramped it down with my large size foot, and then scattered loose leaves and debris , over every thing around it and then put a fallen tree over it, , it seem the way was still clear to me, so i stayed in the tree line and ran back out to my hiding place, as i did this , the big black birds had went away, all in a days work,

[steve a]

As i was approaching my 31st winter, and tired from a hard nights hunting, harder then usual, because of the scarce food supply this year, it seemed the little people was all out in force this year enjoy taking our food supply, witch made us search in wider circles for our food, our storage in the hidden cave was not enough to last all winter, so we are going to hunt in the winter time even more, and this makes our chance of discovery even more dangerous, it was the time the humans, called all hollows eve time , or a thankful time, it was our time of the year to get ready to store our food or migrate to a more plentiful hunting area, also known to some of us as a winter camp, where the hunting is better, and the little people are very few, but we dont like to leave our territory open for others of our kind, so we stay until all food supply s are gone,then move on , A we got ready to lay down for our sleep between the time the sun comes and a little after the sun is in the middle of father sky, i noticed the elder was even more tired then usual, and as he layed back against the boulder, he started to shaking bad all over as he was in convulsions, i got to summon the medicine man of the clan, he stopped , shaking and lay still, but his form was to still, and i went to his big bulk of a body, and found no breath in his massive nostrils, the clan medicine man showed up about that time ad said he was in the big sleep, so even as tired as we was, we had to bury right away, for two reasons, one we did not want his body to found by the little people, and two , we did not want animals eating on him and leaving body parts to be left around for discovery, so i called three others to me and we picked the elder up up and ran as fast as we could to our secret burial ground where the dirt was deep, and we could dig it more easily, and this was a whole clans job, doing the digging, we sharpened big sticks with our teeth ands used our massive hands as shovels to remove the soil, we took turns digging and removing the soil til it was deep enough to cover his huge form of a body, we dug down about 12 feet, layed face to the east, and covered him up, and taking turns to tamp the earth down by jumping up and down on the grave, the whole clan did this with our massive weight of our body's, we then scattered lose leaves and trees and rolled rocks to hide every thing, and marked the grave with a tree bow and tee pee formation,

we did this , so any one of us wanted to visit the grave and leave food , for the passing spirit, to eat, they could tell by the sacred arch and the sacred tree formation, it was our elders grave, our formations have to look like nature made them, to hide out intentions from the little people,

It was sacred time for me as now i would be responsible for the clan , but had to wait for the clan meeting to convene, from our other chiefs from other tribes at one of our gatherings, in order for me to be the permanent elder now, but i would assume temporary command , as next in line,

we gather around the sacred grave site, and mourned our fallen elder, and some of us left gifts, others weep and wailed, and yet others used our special voices to scream our silent communication to others in the surrounding clans about the elders death, and yet others silently used our mental ability's to telepath what happened to other clans, some of us have gifts and others did not,

all this happened far from prying eyes of the little people, we watched the grave site, just in case these small people was out looking for us and our bones , less we be discovered, if any thing was being disturbed at all, we would kill it, or chase it away by force if necessary,

This was a bad day for all of us, but the elder had been slipping in his duties to lead and protect us, and we had to be safe from all out siders, we all went back to our sleeping areas, some of us leaned against giant boulders that slipped from the mountain side and others moved under the loose leaves and yet others just leaned against the mountain side to blend in and slept,

This was just another day out of our lives, we all live and we all die, but as small as we are in population, this was a big loss, we cant afford to lose any one, let alone a great elder, .

I'm really enjoying these stories. They are packed with great information. Keep up the great work. :)

The leadership was harder then i thought to do, i had more questions , then answers, my leadership went before the other clan elders and chiefs of other clans , and i was made full time leader now, and had all the rights of a chief of a clan, but i had much to learn, the other elders came by to check on me many times and taught me what i had to know, i made up a lot of things for the clan to do, while we was hunting, such as, two hours before the sun came up, we taught the children and juveniles, how to set tee pee formations, and other tree formations, so they knew what they meant,we had wrestling contests, rock throwing contests, hide and seek, tree climbing, and most important of all stealth class, this was the most all important thing to teach, around the camp fire in the cave only, where no humans could see the light, we taught the history of the clans from the beginning, to the present, medicine, and other important things they needed to know in order to survive, a lot of the times we took some of the junior hunters out to teach them the way to communicate, while was on a hunt, such tree knocking, high tone communication thru our sound box of our throat, so no human can hear, how to send signals to animals we was hunting , to temporary stun them so we can kill them faster, this was thru our mental abilities, we taught them the low crawl to get close to a enemy, so the the person did not know we was there, in order for a junior to be come a full time hunter, they had to accept, a trial of endurance and bravery, we would send them on a dangerous mission to bring some thing back to prove they did , what we ask, they also had to try to fool a human in not seeing them, witch is hard to do, and they was observed at doing this, so we knew they passed the test,


i remember the time i took a junior hunter out and taught him to sneak up on some body, it was my favorite technique, i always look for tree that had fallen and was leaning on another tree, that was about my height, when i stood up next to the other tree, i would low crawl to the tree on my stomach, and then stand up beside the tree, and peek my big head , right under the tree that was leaning against the other tree, making my head , part of the tree lean, it works every time, i blend in with my surroundings and sit or stand still for hours, and watch and listen, i taught this junior hunter this trick, and he got close to some humans that was out nut picking, and scared the heck out of them , by throwing rocks passed them, they never could find where it was coming from, we then tried to mimic some animal sounds, but he was terrible at it, and scared the humans out of the woods, we had a good laugh over that one, another time , 3 campers was camping out in our hunting area, making all kinds of noise and scaring the deer away, so we had a little fun with them, we love to scare the little people, not harm them , we surrounded them and started to beat on trees, and whoop in to the night, and make owl sounds, all three got up and ran up the trail, we could smell their messed up pants all the way home, humans stink, as for us we take bathes in the rivers and lakes and streams as often as we can, we then went in tore their camp site up and put out the fire, and snuck back home to tell the others, what a good time we had that night, i can still see the little people running and falling, and pooping their pants, all the way home, i dont think they will be back for a while, about the only thing we are afraid of from the little people is there fire stciks, it can hurt or kill one of us, and hide from this , when we can,


this is just few of the things i was responsible for , as head man of our clan, there was others things in the future to learn my self and teach as i could, , and again , just another day out of my bigfoot life,

[steve a]

i was traveling to a to a secret meeting we hold every year, in areas picked out for us to go to, it takes several days to get there at times, and we discuss many things for the surrounding clans , involving many things, out destination was up north in the cold country, and i picked two others to go with me, we never try to travel alone, the three of us took off in the dark of the night, and traveled, do north following the stars, and mountain peaks and watched for the secret tree formations left for us by others, we always tried to stay near water ways, and forest and brush cover, but there are times when we had to cross road ways, when we did this , we always looked for the man made tunnels under the road ways first, if their where none then we dashed across the road, as fast as we can, there are some of these little people that tried to make contact , with us, and good people in there heart, and want to leave food out for us , in certain areas, and try to understand us, we take the food and move on, as move thru others territory, then we meet with them and explain where we are going , and they let us thru the territory, we leave signs of our passing for them, so they can follow, to the meeting area,


as i came around a creek corner on the third day, before we hid for the day light, i came up on a smell , i recognized as human, we halted and hid, and started to looking and smelling around, the smell was strong only on the wind, but was close, and i could not under stand where it was coming from, so i took a chance and got up and made alot of noise in the brush and started circling the area, where i could smell the human the strongest, as i got closer to the source, i stopped in my tracks and looked up, and saw this human sitting a tree, holding a old puny weapon i had not seen before, it had string and a sharp stick come out from it, and the stick was bow shaped, and it had a sharp slender point on it, he shot this stick at a tree near my head, and i got angry, and howl at him and took a step towards him, and he shot another one at the tree again, this sticks stuck in the tree, i got the point, he did not want to shoot me, but to scare me off, i stopped in my tracts, and roared and me and the others took off and ran away, not wanting to be found by this human, this was one of those times we dread as giants , to be around these humans , they are unpredictable at times,

we traveled for several more nights, hunting and foraging as we traveled, we got to the meeting place after 12 days time, and did not encounter any more problems,

[steve a]

One morning , the family woke up , it was a beautiful spring morning, and the snow all had , but gone, i stretched and got up and headed for the mountain lake to take a bath, i love to swim as i was cleaning my body, i could hold my breath a long time under water, and swim frog style for quite a distance, and as i would do this, i would try to catch fish, and snakes, and other fresh water reptiles, i love snakes for the food source, we would grab a snake by the tail and snap it like a human uses a whip, snapping the head off of the body, and then peal back the scales and eat the whole thing, not sharing any of the meat, i would clean my body with soap root and sand, i got out and shook off the water, and layed down in a near by bush, and bask in the the sun light, it was a good time for me to get away from responsibilities, after i had dried off, i took off back to the living area, and checked on all who was their, i sat down next to my mate and started to pick at her hair, and pinch the lice, and comb out her hair with my fingers, i had at this time , two children of my own thru my mate, and she was teaching them , the proper way to hide and communicate with their vocal cords, the other children was learning the history from the older woman of the clan, some where wrestling, others playing in the trees, and playing hide and seek, it was just a time to relax with every one, the medicine man was out collecting herbs for medicine,

i had heard that we was going to have visitors, so we stayed near the home site except to hunt and gather for food, til these visitors, showed up, and when they got near our area, we left stacked rocks and bent trees to show the way to our home site, we hunted extra food for when they showed up, as they was bringing gifts and trade goods for us, and we traded in return,

About the third day we heard some tree knocks and vocalizations from over the next mountain ridge, and we knew from the noise , it was our visitors, so we howled back to them, and they came in to our deep ravine site, we call home, and was greeted in a friendly way, it was my big brother and his new wife and their two children and some traders they had brought,

but we soon found out, the real resson they came there, and they wanted to stay in our area to live, as they was with out hunting grounds, all the animals had been cleared out by humans , moving in the forest and clearing the trees and using big monster machines to tear up their home , so the little people could build their stone and wood buildings they live in,

we did not have enough hunting room for them, to live here with us, as we was growing in family our selves, so we all sat down and tried to find another living area for them, i knew of a mountain top a few days journey, deeper in the mountains , further north from here, that was impassable to humans,
and my brother and his new family wanted to see it, and so we started to go there, and see what was available, it took us 3 days journey to get there,


there was good hunting and gathering, in the area, caves filled the mountain side, and their was a small creek that was running fast down the mountain side, it was heavily forested, good protection for the new family, all was delighted, and no other clan had claimed it, so they moved right in, we traded for their goods and we left food with them as gifts, and we parted and went back home, taking our time as we traveled back down the slopes, and up other mountain tops, we hunted on the way there and on the way back,


when we returned home,we sat around the ravine home site and talked about our trip and our brothers family was a lot closer to us then before, it all seem well for us, as a new year was starting for us, all in a every day life

[steve a]

our clan are known as the deep path people, and i am known as silver heels, it is time for the little people that read this, to know who they are dealing with,i am 8 foot tall, huge in body, about 900 hundred pounds, i am known as a round head, my face is more human like, except the brow ridge, and the dark hair all over, except my heels are silver in color, i can bend a 8 inch tree , like it was nothing, i am very timid, and gentle, even to humans, my mates name is wangopeh, or sweet breeze, some people of the clan call me peshawa- or wild cat, but i prefer silver heels, our clans history goes back many generations, to many to speak of here, but it began in another country, and we came over the ice , and settled in the deep north and ever moving south , thru many generations, we have many tribal clans, that revolve around a council of elders in charge of us, and our areas, we still have conflicts with each other, and still wage war on own kind, their are some like us, that even we are afraid of, each clan has one leader, a second in command, our own medicine, our own laws, we make weapons out of stone, we steal things from humans that we need, as pots and buckets, food, and even clothes for our kind that have no hair, we live in the most secluded areas known to any body, we harm no one, only wanting to be left alone, we have a culture to our own, we have our own language, hunting and gathering system, we have a shaman for magic, and healing rite and wedding and burial rites, we have our system for obedience, and punishment, so this is who the little people are really dealing with,

[AllSmiles]

Steve, you are really rocking out some good stories! You're very inspiring. Keep up the great work. :p

[steve a]

while the moon was full , our whole clan was active in the hunting, and other night time actives, it seems the full moon does some thing to our senses, besides casting our shadows , even bigger then usual, the clouds was still passing over the moon, and darking the path , we was stalking our way to a farmers house, this farmer had just got some type of farm animal we had never seen and new chickens and rabbits, the new farm animal was what the humans called a llama, and we had never seen one before, although we have been at the farmers place several times , thru out the years, to steal his food from the barn, and thru the lean months, we killed and ate his farm animals,

as we got with in a few hundred feet from the place, we split up to surround the the house and barn yard, but , we made new discoveries this time, the old man had put up a new high fence, and two outside lights, and had horses this year, the fence was 6 or 7 feet tall, but the old gate was still there, the llama, was with the horses, and we had a laugh at the silly looking thing, we love horses dearly, and treated them with respect, and even braided their manes at times, the chicken house was new and had new fence up, and the rabbits was just inside the barn,

like i said , the moon makes us crazy at times, not harmful , but with a sense of humor, so we silently exchanged the chickens and the rabbits with each others cages, he he he , i love this joke, we love to play jokes on the humans, we then traded the old milk cow and put him with the horse and put the llama in the old cows stall in the barn, we then eat all the eggs we could find, while others helped their selves to the garden area, the dogs always kept quiet , while we was around, or they would disappear fast, and they knew this, we then got rid of all of out foot tracks, by dragging tree branches thru the area, that we was in, as we about to leave, 4 of us let out blood curling scream , near the house, and we all took off , except a few, to stay behind to see what would happen, and they would tell us later, they stayed hidden in the brush and evergreen trees, around the house and barn,

the old farmer lights came on , all of a sudden, and came out of his house, to check on the noise, and we heard him cussing and spitting mad, he knew who we where, we had done this several times thru the years, and it was all the same reaction , he got to the barn to check on his animals, and then the dogs, but the dogs never came out of hiding this time, , i think this scared him even worse, as he knew we was still there some where, we started owl hooting, and beating on trees, and then took off, fast thru the forest and mountain paths toward home, laughing all the way, what a good time we had that night, but we had some hunting to do, and it was getting towards morning, and we had to be fast at what needed to be done, ,

[steve a]

this is a touchy subject folks, and people have a very different opinion about it,
but of course this is just story time , i am going to write about what really happened to me, as a human here and i will be the bigfoot sending the message to the human, , so hold on, i guess you could say this is a true part of my story,


one day we heard a lot of noise coming from the mountain valley, as the sun was rising a little past the middle of the sky , it was the time , we usually wake up, and do a little of traveling , up and down the valley looking for good places to set up for our night hunt, as we got to this place where a man has a big pond and and evergreen trees every where, we thought it would be a good place to hunt, but , when we got there, we found a bunch of humans setting up their fabric houses, for a night out side, we crawled up the embankment, and was watching them try to catch fish , with theses tiny poses with string , some one was using a light box on some of the other humans, but it looked as they was having fun, all of a sudden , i saw a old bald man, wearing round looking glass on his nose, and he looked funny, he had no hair on top of his head, and was shiny, i felt a sudden 6 sense from him, and the woman with black hair, i sense these people had a lot of attention from our kind, and was there to try to communicate with us, our old Grey friend , that was deaf and wounded recently, from flying machines , had already talked to the black haired woman, i picked up strange signals from all of them, but i liked the bald man, and the blue eyes was what i saw the most, at this time we had brought a strange red member that had been cast out of another clan , to help our deaf relative, to hunt and take care of him, but he hated humans, and wanted to harm them , the bald man had set his fabric house up in our hunting path, and i wanted to warn the little bald man, about the red member of the clan, so i snuck around to where their little turd house was set up, and waited til night time, and as he came with his mate to the turd house, he waited by the door to help her find her way, i sent a strong signal with my mind, but he knew i was there, less then 5 foot from him, in the evergreen trees watching him, and this man was a strong minded man, for a little human, he received me and i received him back, i was impressed and he was stilled scared, but i warned him about our red member, , with this man, here it was mid night, and he was scared, but still stayed less then 5 feet from me, and talked softly to me, i was over whelmed for the first time , with a human, and felt a peace come over me, and his mind , came to a smart conclusion, about me, i started to get up and walk out, so he could see my shadow, and how big i was , i made a friend that night, and he promised, not to go to a certain area, where the red member of ours was waiting for him, i did not want this human to get hurt,and i would protect him if possible,


but then a gun shot went off and one of my clan was shot in the shoulder, and i screamed in front of this human, to the rest of the clan, i scared this old man to death, but we had to get out of there fast, i was mad as hell , but the safety of my people come first, i know i could talk to this man later, even in his house, we went to the medicine man, and the shot was a clean thru, so he was lucky, we stayed in that area till close to morning and then went home,

.

[steve a]

the creeks and springs that run down hill , on the mountain sides, are always at full rush in the spring melt, it was like this , when i found the human laying unconscious beside a spring fed creek, over to the side i found this humans steel carriage with wheels, all smashed up, about 100 crawls from the creek, he had crawled there to get water, his legs where bent a odd angle, and blood was all over him, i leaned down and touched his mouth area, and he was putting out air,

the nearest house was over the next mountain range, i did not want every human climbing all over the mountain side looking for him, this would be dangerous for us, so i picked him up carefully, and started out to climb to the nearest house and drop him off,
i know i would want to be found if in a accident, my loved ones would worry,
it was hard going, but using trees to grasp and digging my feet in , i made fast and good time, i found a old beaten trail the human Indians had made in the long past, so i followed that to the next mountain range, and looked down in the valley, and saw the house that was spread out over several other buildings, and horses every where, i had to hurry , but be sneaky at the same time, i hurried on down the trail that wound it self thru the valley, and approached the house from the rear, no one was in sight, so i slid around the side of the barn, and looked at the front of the house, a man was driving a big contraption , with big wheels, on the back and small wheels on the front,and picking up boulders with it, and moving them other places, i tried to sneak as close to the mans door as possible, but it was quiet there, so i ran up behind the contraption the man was driving , and grab a hold of a bar of steel that was there, i jerked as hard as i could , to get his attention, and about jerked the man out of the seat, i dont like human contraptions, or the smell of them or the noise, it scared me bad, but this broken human need help now,

the man looked around and turned white, when he saw me, then he saw what i was carrying, i laid the man on the ground, and backed away in a hurry and watched the man get off the big contraption, and bent over the man laying there all broken and bloody, and kept a eye out on me, he got a little black box out of his pocket and was talking in it, this was when i left, i ran as fast as i could to the forest, and turned to see if any one was following, i was ok, i watched from a distance, hiding all the time, and soon red lights and a awful noise came from the near by road, and turned in this mans drive way, and made all kinds of noise, working on the broken man, other loud noise human wheels of steel showed up and they had little guns on there side, it was time for me to go, i dont know what happened or what the little humans said or was talking about, but the man was pointing the way i had left, so i used all fours to get out of there, it is easy for me to climb this way, i went a different way then i came, i just did not want to be seen or caught, or shot at, i never traveled as fast as i was gong straight up the mountain , and over and hide my tracks on the other side, this was a hard thing for me to do, but human life is important as our life's are,

[steve a]

as i was close to 33 winters old, my daughter was at a age of taking a mate, but we can not take a mate from the same clan, so we had to to travel to other clans and let it being known, and , or, wait till a male showed up looking for a mate, it was a tradition that unmarried women of the clan wore grass skirts, and a fur strip worn around the left shoulder, and mated women wore it around the right shoulder, we decided to wait till some one, showed up and see what his worth was, meaning was he a good hunter, was he good to his mate, and friends and relatives, then we let her decide if she wanted him , after all this, if she chose to take him as a mate, they could live here with us, or move to a new location, or go to his clan to live,

a few days later a older fellow showed up looking for a second mate, and we chased him away, but the news spread, and twin males showed up, and both was at the mating age, but both where dirty and stunk, and both where lazy, and my daughter, whose name was kill-sa-qa, meaning princess, decided not to have any thing to do with them at all, they would not hunt, and was unfriendly to any one passing by, so we made them leave,

i went out hunting with two other elders of the clan one day, and we went deep in to the forest, to surround deer, and we got near a old huge log that been hollowed out, and we heard moaning coming from inside of the log, all three of us stopped in our tracks, and listened , to be sure we heard the same sound, i leaned down on one knee, and looked in to the old log, and saw a young fellow like us, he was a round head, 1 inch hair all over, and tan in color, there was blood every where, he had been shot at , and crawled in the log to die, i grabbed both legs and gently pulled him out, and turned him over, there was two wounds on him, one was on the left shoulder, and was swollen, and blood had dried there, the other was bad, i was really concerned , he had taken a bullet behind his left ear and did not enter the skull, but had traveled under the skin all the way around to the other side, close to the other ear, and it was just under the skin, two of us went to find water and herbs, to help the wounds,all three of us picked him up and traveled fast , back to the ravine home and got the medicine man, who cleaned the wounds and took out the bullet from behind the right ear, he then put medicine on every thing, after cleaning him up, my daughter shoved us all out of the way and became his keeper till he was well, she fed and gave him drinks of water and the medicine, he started to improve, and they both became inseparable, and this was a strange courtship indeed, she would not let any body to get close to him, at all, till he was up and walking, and talking , he then told us what had happened,

he had heard of kill-sa-qa, and was coming this way, to try to mate with her, he was so engrossed with the dream of becoming her mate, that he walked right in to deer hunting party of little people with guns, they all started to shoot at him and he ran off screaming, he had run all night until he was to weak to go on, and he thought he was going to die, and crawled in to the log to die and get away from the humans, and then we had showed up, and saved his life,

these two wanted to mate, so we tested him on hunting parties, and he was quick, and deadly on the hunt and kill, but he had problems hearing , the bullet had left damage there in both ears, his left side was completely deaf, and the left side , and could hear very little from the right side, he was very humble and thankful with every one, we decide to let them mate, but it was her decision, and she took him as a mate, his name at the time , was winamac, meaning yellow river, because of his tan hair, but we changed his name to shepo- conah, meaning deaf man,

the mating was simple, they took each other that night, and we gave them gifts, he had given her a big human comb, to comb her hair, and she gave him a deer haunch, this was their way of taking each other as mate to each other, they decide to stay here in our clan , because we had saved his life, and because , he did not want us to be lonely, with out our daughter,

so this was how i gained a son,

[steve a]

as leader of a clan, one of my responsibility's was taking care of our long distance messages from clan to clan, i received a message one night , while i was out gathering food and hunting, it seem to hit us between the eyes, like a massive wave, it stopped me and my hunters , that was with me, dead in our tracks, we was receiving, a message of a emergency meeting from the council of elders, it comes in waves at times and our third eye catches it, or we have the ability to scream in the distance of the night, with a high pitched scream,human ears cant hear it, and we go from clan to clan like this, so it was after the hunt we decided to talk about this, and send our message to the next clan, all of us concentrated on our message and the direction we wanted it to go and pushed it with our minds, this takes alot out of just one person, so we can do this together, and it eases our minds, and it is more powerful ,

the meeting was in 10 days time, so we had plenty of time to get there, we hunted on the way, and it took 4 days travel time to get there, we met up with other clan leaders on the way , and met old friends we had not seen for years, at the meeting we had the area clean for us, food and a place to sleep, it convened when all the tribal council was present , the meeting was about large groups of certain little human men coming in to our areas,
with their loud noise callers and blasting in the night , and their guns and dogs, trying lure one of our kind out in to the open, they was close and coming in to my area, because of me saving one of their kind,
many where angry , because i saved this human, and many thought it was my fault, but they all knew the rules, and laws we govern our selves by,
what i did was right, and the council backed me up on this, but then again, there was always the worriers in large family clans,
we made a decision to leave the area and travel over the next mountain range and stay with my brothers new area, but three will stay behind, to watch over our area, and watch out hidden cave areas, and food supply's,

we started home and and gathered all we could, and buried the rest, and headed out, i was going to stay behind and be one of the watchers,
it was not long before we seen a bunch of their steel on wheels coming to the top of a mountain peak, and unloaded all their puny equipment , and set up a camp, one person was sent up their to watch them and we would use long distant high pitched screams to keep in contact, and beating on trees to let each other know where was at and their position in the home area,

it all started the next morning, awful sounds coming from their camp, all day long, and in to the next night, we saw them put light boxes on trees, and check trees for our hair, and our trails for our tracks, the dogs got close at times, but we mentally slapped them in the face with a warning, to shut up or die, we hate dogs, but we do not eat them unless out food supply is low,
we decide this was enough, we went out to a great distance and screamed to the humans , hoping they come our way and lead them away from our ravine home, it worked, they was running with dogs, and stumbling all over them selves, acting like idiots, calling with their noise boxes, and light boxes, we let them get close, and then all three of us put out a mental blast so powerful, it stopped one or two in their tracks, they stopped the others and all came to a halt, the dogs had broke loose and some had run back the way they had come, the others came straight towards us, so we put out another mental warning, but that did not stop them, their was three dogs that came right at us, we hid down on our belly's in a bunch of thorny bushes, the humans was not coming in there, but we killed their dogs as silently as we could, by breaking their necks, we wanted to throw the dogs back at the humans, but we did not want to give our position away, so we threw rocks at them and crawled around them , to surround them , and screamed at them , and threw more rocks, i was looking for the leader, i found him by watching all the other humans talking to him, if i could get rid of him , then they might leave, i belly crawled as close as could to him, and got up behind a tree, and squeezed my buttocks together, and let a anal gas out and sent it toward him, he caught the smell and doubled over coughing and hacking, i was about ten foot from him, i then let out a bellow and snapping my teeth together, that did the trick, they all turned and ran away or limped , some carrying others from all the rock throws and the anal gas, and their dogs dead, we gathered their dogs up and went around them and beat them back to their camp, and threw the dogs in to their camp site, and tore every thing up as we could, they was not welcome there, we then pooped all over the place and left out mark for them to see, DONT COME BACK, this was we was trying to tell them, we hid our selves among the boulders and watched them coming in to camp, they all was scared to death, as soon as they saw the dead dogs and the tore up camp, they ran to their steel on wheels and took off, leaving the mess behind, ,
we waited for three days to see if they was coming back for their equipment, no one showed , so we sent our mental message to our clan with our brothers area, telling them it was all clear,
we sent messages to the council telling them where we lured them, and what happened, and what information we could about these stupid human men,

the one thing i kept hearing these men say to the leader, was help us many maker, what ever that meant, i dont know,

on the mountains of eastern Tennessee, when the clouds come over the peaks , and bring the rain and the mists, the sun disappears and every thing is shrouded in fog , and it looks like the trees are growing cloud formations , instead of leaves, this also brings with it more shadows, to hide in , it is a good time to hunt, and hide, the little people hardly come out in this weather, but the deer are around, we just have to be more cautious with our hearing, as this climate dulls the hearing, and some of our senses, and some of the older people have a harder time moving around, because of their aching bones, we have to peal willow bark for the pain, we have made new digging sticks , to dig roots to eat , and our ears are close to the ground to hear , new under ground springs, bubbling, just under the surface of the earth, this water is more pure and sweet to drink, in hard times of the winter, we will eat about any animal, even dogs, but usually we don't touch them, just kill them, n they are a danger to us, if we are close to a human town, and food is scarce, we find ways to eat their tame animals,

but right now , we are hiding and resting in the great mist on the mountain side, the bears are still in their deep sleep, and the wolfs and big cats are more hungry and wary, coyotes we spring a neat trap for them and kill them and eat them also,
we send a older juvenile to their area, while we surround a kill zone in a v formation, we knock on trees, to let the juvenile know , it is time to start the chase towards us, the juvenile then makes contact, as a injured person, and lets them chase him, he then runs fast towards us, and as he gets to the end of the v formation, the point is opened up for him to run thru, and then the trap is closed around the coyotes, we can kill 5 or 6, before the rest take off and escape, this is great fun for us, and gives us more food , and protein for us,

we also bend trees and peal the bark back and chew on the sugar content, and other nutrients, and eat clay, and other rock contents, for the minerals we need, there are ways we do this, that does not hurt our digestive tracks,

also this is a good time to bend trees for our tree formations, as they are wet and more pliable,

all is well , hiding out in the great mist on the mountains,

[steve a]

this story is just for fun, a little humor action, for a over imaginative mind, not that i have a mind , mind you,


down in the town , far far away from our home ,it is the season for the little peoples children to dress up and go door to door to ask for treats, , this is always a story we hear about this time of the year, and we laugh about it all the time, but this year, ,my youngest son , kept asking about it for some strange reason, so we told the story to him , just to humor him, his name is hhaki [means- block the sun] he is about 4 foot tall and big in the body for his age, thats why we call him this name, hhaki has left home for two or three days at a time, just to get his way , and to get into mischief, well this time, he really did it, he just up and disappeared, for a couple days, and when he got back, he had all kinds of sweet stuff to share with the whole clan, we ask where he stoled it from , and he kept saying he got it from the humans, of course , no one believed him, so finally we got him in front of every one during, story telling time, and we ask him to tell his story to us,

hhaki, said he went to the little peoples town far away, and got in to a park area and watched the little children play on swings and other stuff, and he was enjoying him self so much, that he wanted to try it to, so he just walked out from behind a tree, he was hiding behind, and sit on the swing,
two little human boys come up to him and told him, they liked his costume, what ever that meant, and took him by the hand and led him away, to their house, he stayed out side and waited for them to show up again,
in a couple hours, they came out of their house all dressed up in their costumes, it scared him so bad, he started to take off, but they took off their masks, and he calmed down, he liked these two boys and trusted them, and they was fun, they took him by the hands and lead him from door to door, and they kept saying trick or treat, and the big people gave them sweet goodies to them and him, he never ever said a word to any body, just grunted once in a while, finally he tried to say there words, and got it down pretty good,


it was starting to get dark and the two boys left for home after dropping him off at the park area, where they had found him, hhaki wanted more sweet stuff, to take back home, so he started to follow other children, to the doors and ask for sweet stuff, he tried the words out, twik tweat, and they handed him stuff right along with who ever he followed, well he was haveing a good time fooling these stupid humans, but at the last door he came to, they wanted to see his face, and the boy he had snuck up behind to follow to the last door, turned around quickly and tried to pull on hhakis face, but to the peoples surprise, hhakis face did not come off, just hair, hhaki screamed in pain, and this scared the people and hhaki, he turned and ran as fast as he could in to the surrounding neighborhood and ran and ran, he finally found the park entrance and his way home, , he eat a lot of sweet stuff, but had two more sacks full and this he saved for the clan, , well after seeing the sweet stuff, we started to believe him, but i was mad as a hatter, i scolded him about his safety and our protection from the humans, and this scared him even more,

i dont scold my children that much, but when he does not think and puts our very lives in danger, then it is time to scold him and punish him, i took the rest of the sweet stuff from him and gave it to the rest of the clan to eat up, he promised not to do it again, all in a bigfoots day of happiness , can i say , the sweet stuff was good,

folks ,I am going to take you back in time to a era, when the bigfoot, actually lived near and some times in rare instances, live with in Native American tribes, some of this factual and other times it just story telling , handed down thru our ancestors, around the camp fire at night, in this story i will be a chiefs son, on the verge of becoming a warrior, i will be using my real native American name from the Miami Nation, it is pe-she-wa, meaning wildcat, my mother is 1/4 Miami and 1/4 Cherokee, making me what, hienz 57 , i guess, but i am up to my culture, so here goes,


it was during the time of the maple dance , in the still cold days of old man winter, that was about to loosen its twisted cold grips on our land, and bring us new life and abundant game, and making our life easier,
my father was 50 winters old, and attended the dance, that night, and danced around the fire all night long, until early morning, he had danced so hard, the sweat was up on him heavy and musky, and he finally dragged himself to bed, and fell heavily on to the robes, the wikiup was a old one and the cold morning air blew thru it, strongly, my father came down with the coughing sickness for three days and went to warriors path on the other side,

we had a three day funeral for him before we put him to rest in our burial ground, and hung a white and then a red flag on a fresh cedar pole, so the great spirit knew he was a miami and a chief, and a true human being,

during this three day fast, it was a time of great sorrow, and my leadership came in to question, i was a son from his second wife, and really not in line for this responsibility, i was just a warrior my self, and had fought the cheyanne, or tis-tistu people, when they lived in the wood land , before we drove them out to live on the plains, so i was not considered to be worthy to be considered for the new chiefs position,

about this time we had alot of trouble with the warring tribe north of us , in the freezing land above the great lakes region, known as the Pottawatomie's and we always seem to run in to them in our hunting grounds around the lake point known as the Chicago s, or stinking place, the place of wild onions, , between them and us , there lived giant race of hairy tribe of wild men , that always stolen our fish and other game hanging out to dry at night, with their terrible smell, and screams, and always trying to steal our women,

It was during this time , that our tribe was chief less, and we had trouble hunting, and supplying our lodges with food and clothing, this early spring,
that during one night we heard, the screams and smells, that we set a trap, for the giant ones, we had burned a large tree at its base, and leaned a another tree against it, and then tied a raw hide rope to it, when they got near we pulled the tree away from it, and let the large burned tree fall on who ever was there, we had tried this several times , before, but it never worked that well, but tonight for some reason it worked, we heard the terrible screams coming from this area, and we rushed there with war clubs, and we beat the other giant ones there, there lying in puddle of blood was a smaller hairy one, we picked him up roughly off the ground, and saw he was in a deep sleep, we tied him up with wet raw hide, so he could not get away, and drove the others away, with fire poles we kept for this reason, we took this smaller one to our grand lodge, and tied him to a large tree, and build fires around him , the rest of the night, so the other giant hairy people would not rescue him, we thought he was dead any way,
the next morning, he was still breathing and in a deep sleep, our medicine man came over from a larger village to check on him, the giant had a broken shoulder, and a big cut on his head, this was where the blood came from, but besides that he seemed ok,
about noon time we heard the awful racket coming from him, as we had watchers watching him, he had come to his senses but was weak, from the loss of blood, we settled him down to a calm state, but he was afraid all the time,we set his broken shoulder and forced him to drink medicine that put him to sleep. and fed him deer and fish and other stuff we had, he stayed this way for several weeks, and was always watching us and for a time to escape, but he was never alone, i was there most of the time attending to his needs,

as time passed by , and things settled down, we started to see if we could communicate, i think he finally gave in to the idea of escape, he was getting fed our food , with out stealing it, and water to drink, and he watched our way of life, and how we took care of each other, all was similar to his family, his wounds had healed , and we took all the ropes off, except a rope around his neck tied loosely, so he could get up and walk, around, the giant people never ever returned, we believe they thought we had killed him,

finally we turn him loose , and he stayed in the forest at the edge of the village , and lived among us for several months. and learned our ways and we learned his ways, he was a cunning hunter and taught his way of hunting, he started to move among us more and more, he learned our language with grunts and squeals and whistles and hand gestures, and became one of us,

we built a shelter for him in the village and he moved in , and soon was taking in part of our every day activities, we brought him a heavy set women as a wife, and they had children , and they was all different, some had hair, other's didn't, but all big boned and strong as a bear, we had appointed a new chief, and our tribe went on the war path , against the tribe from the north,

we named him big bear, and he went on his first war path on this trip, i went along to talk his language to our other warriors, as we got near our enemies area, we all spread out and surrounded the village, and big bear let out a scream and pick up a big tree limb and went charging in to the village, and just started to swing away at the warriors there, we killed and captured many of them, they all was terrified of this giant hairy man, who brought their enemies among them, we took many women and children back with us, as slaves, big bear took a lot of food with him and some battle axes he had found, we all got back to our village, and partied all night with victory dances, and shouts and story telling, mostly about big bears courage and his victories, we was proud of him and we sit down and had a discussion about making him a member of the tribe, and he wanted to be , so it was voted on, and he became a member of our bear clan, and lead that clan for many years, and his children had their children among us as well, our tribe grew in the eyes of other nations around us, and many feared us, as mighty warriors,

[steve a]

It was getting close to the time of of my 35 th winter, and the time of the year was crisp, of the winter to come, the leaves had already turned, and started to fall to the ground, and the food supply was already gathered and stored, many of the females in the clan was heavy with child, and it looked like a difficult winter to come, we have been lucky as far as the snow goes, these past winters, but one big one would spell harder times and even disaster, i have been trying to think of a way to expand our hunting ground,

when out of no where, we was attacked by flat heads, the terror of every one around us, we did not know they was around , or even here them sneak up on us, these are giants , like us, but they hate , kill and maim every thing around us, animals, and all, they destroy the forest areas to live in, we had time to run from them , and try to escape , and then try to defend our selves, I gathered every one that had escaped and head up to the mountain top, our only way now, was to find a new living area, we gathered up all the food in the hidden caves, and buried our dead, we lost half of the clan, we needed to get to the emergency gathering as soon as possible, we sent runners, to the other clans, and we all headed to the council, this was war, the flat heads had messed with the wrong group this time, this was what the council had decided, and so we took up our refuges and out of the mountains and headed to the foot hills near the Tennessee river, where it meets the clinch river, here the little people call this watts bar lake, and here we gathered all of our clans, in the surrounding hills sides close to the humans with all their guns, we figured if the flat heads came here , the humans with their fire sticks would kill some of them, when we all gathered in a small hill top close to a town near the humans grey ribbon of hard stone where their wheels of steel went fast, and we made our plans on revenge,

we wanted to let the flat heads think we ran to get away from them, and would not come back, but we was planning on attacking them , and taking our homes back, and put a stop to this killing for good,

we needed help from the local groups that lived around here, and we called them , we had a big guy show up with his clan, bald headed and blue eyes,
He pulled me aside and told me his story, of living close to the humans all his life, and even named the man that saved his life, the name giver, and told me of his granddaughter, who just happened to live close by, he told me , she might help us with some of the things we might need and she was not afraid of us, i told the the council about him and he was invited to speak, as he was a elder, he wanted us to meet with this human, here we was, left on a mountain in a bad area, not much food, and refuges, so we told him to bring her here, we had nothing to lose,

that night , we saw the blue eye lead this small human woman in to our camp, and looked like one of the old people that had lived here century's ago, the little natives, she could spirit talk to us, and talk to us in our language, we was amazed, we then started to believe old blue eyes, she told us that , she would start to leave food out at various locations for us, and would get the food from the humans eating place that throw away all their left over food, and would gather this up for us, this was all she could do for us, and wish us good luck,

there was a lot of bickering, about food , space, and sleeping areas, but we had to maintain control, and finally we did,
we came up with a plan, and settled on a area of attack for these murderous people, we recruited all the men we could get from all 12 of our clans, and some of the others around the area wanted to come and help to, the blue eyed one came along with us to help with the war plans, and just watch and report back here to his group,

the plan consisted, of sneaking back the opposite way, we had left, in to small groups , as not to be detected, and hide out in various caves only we knew about , but only up on the mountain tops, and we did this, and not a soul was detected, the flat heads was still in the valley, we then gathered rocks big enough to throw with two hands, they had to be big, , then we made big war clubs from hard wood trees, and stone axes tied to them, old blue eye showed us how to make spears with chewed off points, to shove in to flesh,

their was a count of 25 flat heads in this group, and we wanted to make them think their was still a small group , still left on the mountain , they had not known about, and had not attacked yet, so we sent a small group down about half way of the mountain, and had them spread out , and started them to knock on trees as if hunting,

the rest of us put our weapons , spread out in various locations, and we would surround them in a small opening, in the tree line, and others hid below the tree line to stop escape, finally we heard our small group come running up the mountain , with the flat heads chasing them and whooping for their blood, we all hid behind objects, as not to being seen, , as soon as the small group ran passed us and ran for a cave,
we stayed hid and quiet, , until the flat heads, came in to the clearing, thinking they was on the kill for this small group, not suspecting a trap.

old blue eye stood up and screamed a war cry, and we all stood out from our hiding places, and started heaving these large rocks down up on them and then rushed in to the middle of them with the war clubs and spears, and caught them in total surprise, this was the first time we had fought back, and they was not ready for this, we killed 24 of them and left one alive to escape, to tell other of his kind, about what happened, we gathered up the bodies and threw them in a deep ravine, and started throwing rock after rock down on them to cover them up, and then dirt, and broken trees, it took hours to do this, we wanted no evidence, of them around, we had three people wounded from our side, and they was treated for broken bones,

old blue eyes was escorted back to his home area, to tell the story and to bring back all the rest of our people,

we gathered all the people from the caves and went to our home areas, to check on the damage, and found no animals to hunt, our home where destroyed, and this place was not any good for us any more, we had a big council and decide to find a new area, for all the clans together, we would need to leave soon to find food, and shelter,



this story will contiue,

[steve a]

Violence, all gone, Quiet and Peace, resides with us as we get ready to find a new home, the Terror , that had befallen us is past now, but not with out casualties, pain, suffering, and sacrifice, the mourning is over and we are need of moving on quickly, we all decide to move deeper in to the mountains east of where we was, deep in to the great smoky mountains, where man is few, and beasts are plentiful, with new hopes, and dreams, with heavy of heart to leave our old ways and old homes and friends, we pack our selves up and start the west east, we send out runners to help find a new area, where the other clans are few , and we will be welcome to our new homes , where hunting and gathering is plentiful, we have hopes of returning here at a later date, our loved ones are buried here, and we left signs on stacked rocks for warning of other of our kind , of happened here, and not to stay here, we will return, so with me leading and in small groups, we take what we can and go, we travel at night , only and hunt on the way, we travel many days, tired, dirty, hungry and tired,, with stragglers, we wait on the older ones to catch up, some died on the way,

at the end of four days travel, we come in to the deep part of the great smoky mountains, every thing here is different, mountains are bigger, and more dense in forest , and vegetation, the game is abounding, and gathering is scarce as winter approaches , we ran in to no trouble so far, and the humans in this part of the mountains , are but gone, we did run across many ancient, old native peoples graves sites, giving us hope of a new home area,

at last, one of our runners comes back with great news, he had found a deep valley with many caves on the southern slope of a small mountain , and it was hidden by a deep gorge to get in to, we went to the gorge and climb to the southern slopes and, checked out the caves, and all was well , it was perfect, for us, , so we all picked out our new homes, i picked a cave area, that was warm and safe and dry, out of the way of the winds, we had a lot of work to do, to get ready for the winter,moss and pine needles was gathered for bedding, and put on the hard floor of the caves, new food catches was made and covered with stone, we sent out hunting parties, and food gathers for the nuts, berries and other food sources, medicines was needed, tree formations needed, territory markers made as we explored the new home area, and we started put out watchers, to check our back trail, for hidden enemies,

this area was even clear of our kind, unexplored by even the little human people, it was paradise, sent out runners to check new hunting grounds, and mark the trails, water sources, and mark them, here we will have what was left of the pregnant woman, to bear new children, and raise our kind in to men, we where free of evil at last, we eat and slept in comfort, that first night,

and the next morning, we started to build new life's here among the great smoky mountains,

[steve a]

like all things new, we need to explore, find the best routes, possible for the elderly and hunting and escape, and stealth, the caves we had found in our new area, where big and warm in the winter time, and cool in the summer time, many went deep under ground into the mountain side, down in the deep valley there was a fast running river, with deep side pools, for bathing and cleaning, and side streams for walking thru to hunting areas, and observation points, the pine trees was the best for hiding under while hunting, we found more old graves site for the early natives of little people, and hold these sacred, as well as our own, weather was warmer in the winter time also, some areas, not even our kind had been here, after spending a miserable winter, we made it thru, we started to enjoy the newness of every thing, deer was every where, bear, and wild cats where abundant, poison snakes were bad and we killed all we could find, and ate them with relish, we found rock magic rings in the earth where the little people from old times had made in the ground, we had found paradise, our territory was about 10 miles all away around, we found magic portals in two places, and stayed away from them, we dont go there , unless you know how to travel thru them safely,

only our shaman knows this, so it is sacred to,

we spent 3 moons to check things out, and to find the best of every thing,
the hunting pools of water was the best set up areas for hunting, and gathering, for food, their was wild pigs , that tore up the ground, and we did not like them and they was fun to hunt, so we tried to hunt them as much as we could, nuts, berries,and all kinds of moss and ferns to eat and store for the next winter,
birds of all kinds to use as scouts for us, was in the area, and we would catch them later for this purpose, thing s was good for us for a long time, and we got to know every entrance and exit in the mountain home area, we started to have the pregnant females having their babies, and this was a blessing , after losing so many,
all was well , home away from home, or we might stay here for ever, we will decide later, right now, time to relax after a hearty meal, and sleep,

[steve a]

I know i don't write well, and their are times I a get in a hurry, so i will try to do better in the future, hope you can learn some of the things , i have learned by doing this, there so much , we dont know about our forest people, but some people do this by faith, there are people that say when i see one i will believe it, i say ok, thats fine, but wait one minute here,

i have to ask you a question first, are you saved by the lord, are you a christain, if you believe in god, have you ever seen him, if you have never seen him, how did you get saved, , this is thru faith folks,

same thing goes for the forest giants, just because you did not see them, what makes you think they dont exist, when all the evidence proves other wise,

some thing is making foot prints, hand prints, howls , screams, tree formations, all out there and the reports of sightings,

for some that is not enough, but wait a minute, have you ever had a feeling you was right about some thing, and never checked it out, and found out later , yes indeed you was right, it was through a thought or a feeling you had, a hunch maybe, , this was what i had the first time i watched the patterson film, and had never heard of a bigfoot or saw one,

some thing hit me like a ton of bricks, i just knew their was some truth to this,

so thru faith in this new information , in 1979, i started to check in to books at the library, watch as many shows on tv , as i could, then the computer came a long, and then my interest really took off,

their were times , i was in doubt, but my first experience , would kick me in the behind, and tell me , faith old friend, faith, this was becoming a obsession for me, and i wanted to get out n the field, and look for my self, i stared to look at field reports, and check in to areas, that looked promising,

so i am asking those that have that feeling , of being right, but have to see it first, start using, your intuition, your gut feeling that thru faith, this thing might be real, start asking questions, and open your mind to this, feel with your heart, and go with it, the heart is never wrong,


i firmly believe, we need a lot of trust , and faith doing what researchers do, compare notes with a lot of other researchers,and do what comes to your heart on this subject, thanks for your time, steve abney

[steve a]

I wanted some time off from the clan responsibility's, so i turned over leadership to the medicine man, who had come to live with his new wife in our clan,
i was going to take a walking journey, to our old area, and meet up with old blue eyes, and learn more about the malevolent little people, this was a journey i would take by my self, and it was full of danger and yet i was excited, i would set snares for food, and stay out of peoples way, and keep my eyes out for other like us, those that perhaps would like to join us,
i left the next day after saying bye to my family, and others, i left quickly, and travel fast thru the night and days for three moons, and as i neared our old area, i walked thru it slowly, savoring the good times, and thought about those that departed and visited graves and left gifts for the souls, and then departed to the meeting area, i approached the area where blue eyes, told me to meet him,
i called out a whooping sound, and got a answer back, not far from where i was hiding, i stepped out from behind a tree, and met their medicine man, whose name , was silver rain, he was tall, about 12 foot, but gangly, slim in stature, and homely looking, but to my surprise was married to a good looking female, when he was young, it was said that he was so homily , that they tied deer liver around his neck, just to get the other animals to play with him,

i guess thats true for some giants like us, he lead me to blue eyes, who was recovering from a wound from a bear, that attacked him, when he got to close to its cubs, the black haired woman had left off some medicine in a bucket for him,
the bear had left a deep wound on his side, and he had claw marks their that had healed, he motioned for me to sit, and we talked about the new area we lived and family, and other stuff, before the main subject came up,
i told him i wanted to learn more about the little people, called nenepi, meaning [malevolent little people],

well this sparked old blue eyes interest, and he told me his story all over again, as his being a elder , with a lot of respect, i listened to it again, , when he was finished, he told me i need to meet with the black haired woman, , i was taken back, and just grunted, i never been near a woman human, just the wounded man, whose life i had saved, many moons ago, i had found, in a valley dieing next to his wheels of steel, that was tore up,

i told old blue eyes, i never been close to woman before, and never ever talked to one, and that scared me more then any thing, , he calmed me down saying , she had fed our people, and she wanted to meet me and spirit talk with me, or try to talk our language,
so i relented, because of what she did for my clan, so the meeting was set up for the next night,
for the next sun i was scared, shocked , and yet curious, and as night approached, i was shy to say the least,here i was a big giant, hiding my self from a little woman, , i heard and then felt her in my mind, gently probing to see if i was there and near, and then to my great surprise, a child entered my mind, at the same time,i was in wonder, who was this hairless person, who had the courage to bring a child among us,
i slid from my hiding place as curiosity over came me, i shyly came to the meeting area, and a child of 7 winters, who small even compared to the black haired woman, came to me and handed me a yellow fruit, i shoved the whole thing my mouth and ate it with relish, it was good,
she smiled up at me, and i leaned down on one knee, and softly hugged her,
the blacked haired women came forward and brought her child , back to her side, we settled on some fallen logs, an set, and she wanted to know, what i wanted to know of her kind, she used part of our language and spirit talked to me at the same time,
she told me, most people did not believe we existed, and would not , even if they saw us, i ask her about the fire sticks they use, and she told me , they are to kill any thing , other humans, and animals, and where to be avoided at all times, they would kill us to, i ask her , if all little people are like this, and she said no, mostly where gentle and kind, they just believe they was the only intelligent beings, that walked on two feet,, she was trying to change that, and wanted to protect us from the bad people, by proving we existed,

this got me thinking, would this be good or bad for us, i ask her how she would do this, and she told me about their high advanced medicine men, . that if she could get, their laws changed, thru these medicine men, and the whole human people saw one, on their light boxes, and took hair, and blood samples from us, she said she could prove that we exist, and get laws changed and protect us,

this was some thing we would have to bring before the council, I told her i would bring this up at the next elders council, but not to have faith in it, as we never trusted the little people, and i told her about our past of watching them destroy, the old natives that used to be here, and the wars with fire sticks on their own people, and the disease they brought among us,
this ended our meeting for the night, i layed awake all night, thinking about all this, with new understanding,

i don't believe even with laws, that this would stop the blood flowing between us, maybe for a little while, the blood would flow, and we cant lose any more,

the next day, i got up tired and hungry, and we ate, i took a bath in the river, and went to meet old blues eyes, we talked about leaving together, and going hunting together, we left and headed north, we traveled for many suns, and came to the flat land, where yellow crops was growing mile after mile, and the forest thinned out to nothing, I was in a strange land, and needed to rest and old blue eyes was wore out, so we found a area along a river, and made a shelter for us, and we rested for several days, this was a good time for me,
this story will continue

We stayed at the new area for several days, hunted and fished our style, and gained our strength back, and headed west to the little hills that dotted this flat land, the mountains and huge rivers we swam across, was tiring, and after our stop here in the flat land, we wanted hills again, their was to many little people in this flat land for me, and i wanted to get to the thick forest, old blue eyes and I, went west in to a vast forest, and found other clans , some wanted stories from us, others did not want us their at all,

during these days of stay and travel, we met many of our kind, and went out of our way to be careful with these unknown groups, we picked up supply's on the way to trade, and offered to hunt with them for food and being able to travel thru their area, we gone about a two suns travel time and headed north again,

we got to a area, that was flat land again, then it turned in to old ice age anomaly, we found a large clan of our kind here .and was ask to stay and help hunt, these where real big people , some four feet taller then me, and huge in the body and all mixed in colors, one juvenile was 8 winters old and only four foot tall, and had been abandoned, and this clan took him in,

we learned that we was on little peoples private property, what ever that meant, and their home was hidden in the forest, and a long drive way for their wheels of steel to get there, the little people knew who we were and was friendly, and left food out at times, but did not try to make contact with us,

we stayed with the large clan for several days, hunted , traded and told our stories, then we heard that a rogue of a clan to the east of us was kicked out of his clan and was headed our way, he was known as a cone head and he was red in color, he had a bad feeling with the little people, and was aggressive towards them,
He showed up three suns later, and asked to be allowed to hunt with us, at that time, their was a old elder that was deaf and crippled, and could not hunt very good, so the large clan leader told him to help the grey old man and he could stay, but no harm to the little people, old blue eyes and I did not like him at all, we got bad vibes from him, and we did not need the trouble, so stayed out of his way, he was a good hunter and stayed for a few moons,

until one night , he saw a gift of food high in a tree, and wanted it, and could not reach it or climb for it, because he was to big and heavy, and he sent the four foot juvenile up the tree to get it for him, and the little guy stayed up there in the tree and ate all the food, these people had put there for one of us, well the cone head threw a fit, and started to shake the tree, to shake the juvenile out and kill him, he was in a rage, and screamed and started throwing large stones at the juvenile in the tree,

this was to much for the clan leader, he was four taller then i was, and he charged in to the red cone head, and the fight was on,
old blues and I picked up a tree limb and charged at the red cone head , but the big black clan leader, stopped us and we backed away to watch, the red cone head threw a huge boulder at the clan leader and hit him in the chest, the clan leader went down, screaming, and stayed there for a while, we all joined in then, and four of us picked the red cone head and ran as fast we could and threw him against a large tree, the impact snapped the tree in half, and it broke the cone heads back, but he was still alive, the huge clan leader had broken ribs, and got up with a large roar, and and picked the boulder that was thrown at him and came over to the still alive red cone head, looked down at him and with a mighty scream, threw the boulder as hard as could at the cone heads face, , we had to hurry and bury the cone head, four of picked him up on our shoulders and ran to a area that was not hollow ground for us and we sharpened sticks with our teeth and using those and our big scoop like hands dug the soft ground up, and dug deep, we threw him in , and covered him up, threw brush and big boulders on top of the grave, and did not mark the grave at all, we cleaned the blood up, using evergreen bows, this was a sad time for the large clan and the leader was in need for help, we stayed their til his ribs healed, and we headed back home, it took us several weeks to get back home , i drop old blue eyes off at his area, and rest there for a few suns, and then headed back toward the safety of my mountain home,

i have had enough of traveling for quite some time, and want to be around family, so i was greeted with warm welcome and had a big feast that day i arrived home, all in a bigfoots life,

it was mid summer in our new area, our clan stayed cool while in the caves, or we swam in the nearest streams, being hairy was hard in the southern heat, and staying cool was vital, night time we slept out doors, alot, or hunted all night,this was a time to rejoice, as we was having a new arrival in the clan before morning, one of the new woman of the clan, was giving birth to a new child, our children was born hairless and reminded me of the little people, but as time allowed, the new born sprouts fuzzy hair, and grows fast, well developed muscles, allowed the new born to walk sooner the human children, but are still helpless, and always surrounded by adults, at all times, this new woman was from a distant clan we took in and was already pregnant, she finally gave birth to a small man child before sun up, and made a lot of pain noise, as this was her first born, the man child was about three foot long, lean and skinny, hairless, and a round head, funny looking, but what a joy to hear the first breathing from them and their first noise, after the birth , the woman took turns cleaning the area up, and ohhing and ahhing over the child and then everyone slept late, oh what a time to rejoice

as the moon was coming over the mountain ridge, we was preparing our night hunt, we had circled the back water area from the river, and waiting in ambush for the deer herd to drink, and then our hunters would herd them in to our trap, some of us was laying flat on the ground, under ever green trees, within a easy path, as they came tru the path, we could easily reach out and grab the hind legs with one hand , and the head with other hand and twist both at the same time, killing it fast, there is no blood this way, we are simply going to have a family day , after the hunt, where every one gets together, to talk and gossip, and story telling, the weather was warm and the moon is easy on the hillsides,as we stalk our prey, it takes a lot to feed our family and clans, all went well in the hunt, we had clean kills, and we buried what was left, as we sit around the great boulders talking, we talked of our great past in other countries, and how our other people was fairing, our cousins, the yeti , the yowi, and others, , and the dogface people and the flat heads, here on our new area, nothing was getting past us at all, we was secure, but the fear was always there. we told jokes we played on the little people, and how they was far away,

then one day , we got word, thru our way of telepathic, that some little people was out looking for us, and using their blasting voice box, they had disturbed the people living among the Cherokee little natives, on a piece of land the white little people gave them, we don't under stand this, their is no invisible lines on the earth, to tell us where to live or to tell us where to go, we are here to live off the land , as we have for generations, ,

we made plans to help the Cherokee people , our kind are mad at them , thinking it was there fault, that these little white people was disturbing the hunting, areas , so we went there, as it was not far away from us, our kind was attacking the Cherokee, people, and they want to stay friends with us, so we went there to quiet our people down, and bring harmony to the area again,

we knew not what these white little people , where trying to prove at doing this, but it was not the first time this happened, we decided to to try to stop this, but it would be difficult,

we waited many moons , before we heard thru old blue eyes that they would be near our area, and the long haired little woman wanted to warn us and stop them, so we finally had our chance,

old blue eyes told us when they would be here, and we came out from the gorge area, and waited around some old , little peoples settlement,

that was when we saw them and remembered them from another time,

this time , was going to get a hold of their leader, !:( and shake some sense in to him,
so we prepared ahead of time, and set some traps for them, we dug small pits and covered them with brush, and covered our selves with old dead leaves and hid off the trail, we always knew they used the sound blasting box at night, so we waited around close to their camp that night, as they came out of their area, we encircled them , and watched their leader, i knew this man my self and hated him, but did not want to hurt him, so we waited, and then some of us tree banged and got their attention., we finally heard this mans name, and telepathed to old blue eyes, and the long haired woman want us to capture him and not harm him, she want to come and talk to him,

we surround them and jumped out, and scared the others away, but the leader had run to one of our traps and fell in, and we surrounded him, i reach down and pulled him out, and threw him over my shoulder and ran to a thick pine wooded area,and sit him down, and we all surrounded him , so he had no where to run, we was several miles from his camping area, we waited for old blue eyes and the long haired woman to show up as they was near the area, we had set up in advance,
it was getting day light when they showed up, and this man was surrounded by several of us, and had pooped his pants and stunk, bad, the long haired woman came in to our camp with old blue eyes, and it was good to see her,
the leader saw her and started to calling her names, and cussing bad, so my son hhaki put his hand around the mans mouth, and he was scared stiff and shut up, the long haired woman then sit down next to him , and told him , it was his fault, this was happening, and to not to come after our kind any more, or he would disappear for good, this we believe, would put a stop to this mans meanness toward us, , we let hhaki carry the man back close to the camp and dump him back in the same hole we had found him in, , the little people was searching for him and found him in the hole, and did not believe his story, but that was his fault, we all went back to our homes with glee, and made funny stories up about the man who crapped his pants, and his hair had turned white over night, , this was our way of taking care of this problem, and was glad we did not harm him,

all i a bigfoots day,
