A common refrain from the “bigfooter” community is the argument that many, if not all, Native American cultures have stories about a big, hairy ape man who roams the forest. Critics will often say that these legends were made up to mess with settlers, make some money for the tribe, or simply never existed in the first place.
The critics are wrong. From Alaska to Florida, the indigenous peoples of America held a firm belief that *something* was out there in the woods. Sometimes it’s a solitary creature, more of an entity than an animal. In other cases, it’s a separate tribe, race, or even species from their own. Documentary accounts of these “bigfoot” type creatures arguably go back to the very earliest days of American settlement, and the oral traditions go deep into prehistory. Could these stories bear any sort of truth? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge…

A whole multi-part series just on the first Nations beliefs and concepts about bigfoot? Count me in!
I would love to know how bigfoots are described as "great apes"… LIke did they describe their physical characteristics and the reporter went "Ahhh yes sounds like an Ape" or did they compare them Bigfoot to Apes? Did American Natives even know what Apes were or looked like?
@ 2:00 the idea of bigfoot being an actual modern man gone wild gaining archaic attributes is what my theory of bigfoot is. Domestic pigs will begin to look physically different after 2 generations in the wild. Perhaps this is a great secret to today's civilization, yet was known in the past how wild men become wild men.
I grew up in Yurok/Wiyot territory. It's nice to hear about my home area and the entities around it. I've had my share of experiences out there in the redwoods
@25:41 Wendigo Donner? He's kinda doomed to be a cannibal.
All the overlays are classic
New dog? Cute big pupper.
The claimed Klamath word for bigfoot sounds suspiciously similar to a Nepalese Sherpa term for the yeti, Metoh (Meh-teh) Kang-mi, as stated in 1921 by Charles Howard-Bury. The name translates to man-bear snowman and was mistranslated by Howard-Bury as the filthy or foul smelling snow man. The press then changed it to the now famous Abominable Snowman. This in fact might be where the word came from.
Now imagine a Wendigo who has learned to use technology, and lures its victims to locations via the internet.
My knowledge of native Americans comes from my grandfather who was half Cherokee and my dad who was one quarter Cherokee. On top of that I'm from Arizona and so I'm surrounded by native nations and have grown up with quite original of the different cultures.
Sounds like small tribes of 7-8ft tall feral people that can swing logs around
"Nom Nom, some Wagyu kids." Probably one of my favorite lines so far. 😂😂
Dude ice bridge?
Britannia, not Britannica
Sweet sword
Neat idea look into more supernatural crypitds and creatures whom appeared in episodes discuss how true they are
That opening was pure kino
I grew up only an hour away from Cherokee NC, I always love seeing their stories popping up.
Portlock isn't a squatch. Nor is it a wendigo, it's something else. My boss replaced the bear guard on AK killer Bigfoot when he had to take off for the last two or 3 episodes. I grew up on Portlock St. in Kenai, AK and was always fascinated with the legends associated with the actual place. It's not a Bigfoot, not one like any of my wife's peoples stories anyhow.

Morgan and Morgan are Biden supporters! POS! John Morgan gave $5000,000 to the Biden campaign!
Reminds me of the story of Devil's Island. A true story. Some prisoners escaped but had no food. So, as one died they ate him. Fast forward. The survivors were recaptured. Two men, one who had previously escaped, got away. The guy who had previously escaped, although not starving, killed and ate his companion. A short time later he was captured. When asked why he ate his pal, he said he got a taste for human flesh. This time, he was executed.
God bless you and your work sir. Respect from Croatia Europe 😇😇😇
I been waiting for more of Morgan Morgan ad saga
4:15 SO CUTE!!!!!
The sponsor segment was incredible 😂
I’m gonna have to subscribe to patreon cuz. i need native folklore for my story’s lore. it’s be disrespectful to not get accurate mythology for the native tribe in my story which is specifically gonna be Navajo related so to location.
is gollum from lotr a wendigo then? @ 15:38
The “Tennessee Bald” is called the Beauty Spot. There’s a big bald and little bald mnt. I have had so many strange experiences up there. I live in Erwin, Tn.
You Rock, Author! You rock, people!
“Pimp my cave” 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️
Once again a fantastic video!
Virtual handshake from an avid watcher from England.
I find all American history fascinating and found your channel by chance and been soaking up all your videos.
It is fascinating leaning about all the brilliant stories (and sad ones about the missing people) in your vast and beautiful country.
We don’t get many stories in England as it’s so small, unless you count next doors cat going feral and being mistaken for a 18ft giant lion for two weeks then everyone realising their mistake when it staggers back home.
Great videos, will catch all of them!
This guy should marry a bunch of Indians
Finding Nothing.
I lived in rural west salem oregon in 2013. My house was up next to a forest. One night around 11pm i was sitting on my porch and all of the sudden what sounded like was huge branch or tree was broke off and then nastiest, deepest growl ive ever heard was directed my way 25ft from the forest. I was stunned..I thought i was imagining it..and then it did the growl again. A bear, mountain lion, dog or human was not capable of this sound. I was so terrified that i went inside and didnt even try to look out the window. I was the biggest skeptic until that moment. From what i gather in my own research from others experiences is that it was a sasquatch trying to intimidate me. It was a truly unbelievable experience to me. No one ever believes in sasquatch until it happens to them. I wish people had more of an open mind to the existence this creature. Truly terrifying though.
I spy with my goofy eye, a badass Viking/Norman sword in the back! 🥰
What about neanderthals
Hey great video I love the content, and it’s probably been mentioned already but Iroquois is pronounced ee-ruh-kwaa and not ee-rock!
My son is over 7 feet tall….
Hes 350 lbs and has a size 18-21 foot – triple wide….
When we go camping he likes to swim early, before everyone wakes up…
The kids always assume big foot was there…😂
I know they've been briefly mentioned in a past video, but i would love Lore Lodge to speak on the Kushtaka of Southeast Alaska.
4:15 Dogman attack! did you subdue him??
Idk why I am shadow-banned😢 I was trying to post about my family in the Micmac (pronunciation) nation. They were and are in Maine, and had relations to some of the tribes your talking about here.
