Thank you! The fact I'm working on a Sasquatch/Native American documentary has more than a bit to do with its creation. 😊

When during my extensive research, I learned the most respected primatalogist in the world, Dame Jane Goodall, believes in the possible existence and even powerful likelihood of the existence of a heretofore unrecognized large bipedal hominid, I dived in deeper. That and when I talk to Native Americans - a major part of my documentary - who laugh at the 'capable modern man' who scoffs at their ancient stories, sightings which are still being documented on reservations in every part of the USA, well, it's more than simply inspiring. 🖖

I have plenty of patience with cryptozoology because frankly even if most of the reports were hoaxes (and I'm sure there are plenty that are), I don't for one second believe we've found everything that's out there. 😁

Yeah it really is a journey more than a destination - it's a fun, worthy pursuit. In the end, hoaxers or the unhealthy/unsound witnesses sort of fall away when you hear elderly Native women or teens describing in detail seeing Sasquatch around their settlements. Not glory hounds, not trendy social media addicts, simply credible folk who know what they saw. 🖖
