The following
excerpt is taken from The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization
website:
“For
more than 400 years people have reported seeing large, hair-covered,
man-like animals in the wilderness areas of North America. Sightings
of these animals continue today. These reports are often made by
people of unimpeachable character.
For over
seventy years, people have been finding, photographing, and casting
sets of very large human-shaped tracks. Most are discovered by chance
in remote areas. These tracks continue to be found to this day.
The cultural histories of many Native American and First Nation
peoples include stories and beliefs about non-human "peoples"
of the wild. Many of these descriptions bear a striking resemblance
to the hairy man-like creatures reported today.
To many,
these facts, taken together, suggest the presence of an animal,
probably a primate, that exists today in very low population densities.
If true, this species, having likely evolved alongside humans, became
astonishingly adept at avoiding human contact through a process
of natural selection.
To others,
these same facts point to a cultural phenomenon kept alive today
through a combination of the misidentification of known animals,
wishful thinking, and the deliberate fabrication of evidence."
”Sasquatch
Society” opens July 28 and will run through September
10. Gallery summer hours are Tuesday to Friday, 11-6. For more information
