Native monsters: Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Yeti

"Bigfoot" cannibal ogre is recorded in an ancient Buddhist text called the Alavaka Sutta

(Oregon Public Broadcasting)

Ancient indigenous Native American rock art (petroglyphs) warn of Sasquatch creatures in area.

There really are killer "monsters" in the woods

Sasquatches, Yakkhas, Rakshasas, Yeren, Yetis, also commonly referred to as "Bigfoot," is a large, hairy cryptid creature said to inhabit forests around the world and in every state in North America, particularly concentrated in the Pacific Northwest [2][3][4].

Sasquatch is a feature in both Native American and Canadian (First Nations) folklore and since the mid-20th century has become a cultural icon, permeating popular culture and becoming the subject of its own distinct subculture [5][6].

The creatures are given many names worldwide.

Enthusiasts of Sasquatch (Istiyehe) hunting, such as those within the budding science of cryptozoology, have offered various forms of forensic evidence to support the existence of these Nature protectors and monsters (since they differ at least as much as human populations in terms of the behavior of individuals), including eyewitness claims of sightings as well as DNA, hair specimens, bodies, photographs, video, and particularly shocking audio recordings, in addition to a long history of tens of thousands of plaster casts of extremely large footprints [7][8][9][10] with individual fingerprints, as noted by Lloyd Pye.

Original film reexamined and found to be real

The evidence is a combination of eyewitness accounts, interactions, killings, folklore, identification, misidentification (confusing the humanin creature with bears of all kinds), and hoaxes.

The creatures are living animals but to say so causes a great deal of trouble to anyone trying to be taken seriously. Even a body is not enough because the gatekeepers and mainstream media insist and repeat that it cannot be a living creature [3][7][10][11][12][13].

Folklorists trace the phenomenon of these ogres and cave-dwelling monsters to a combination of factors and sources, including the European "wild man" figure, Asian Yeren, folk tales from every continent other than Antarctica, and indigenous cultures [14][15].

When disclosed, what will science say?

Examples of similar folk tales of wild, hair-covered humanoids exist throughout the world [16][17], such as the skunk ape of the Southeastern United States, the Almas (Almasty of Georgia and the Caucuses), Yeren of China, and Yeti of Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, India, and the Himalayas extending from Bangladesh to Afghanistan, including the Australian Yowie [14][18], and frightful (sometimes peaceful) creatures in the mythologies of indigenous people [19][20], who consider them another human tribe.

German Krampus, mean demonic shapeshifter

Speculation, a growing cultural interest in the preservation of the environment, and overall societal awareness of the subject have been cited as additional factors [21]. More: Bigfoot

  Anti-Fascism is now a crime?

  *On Sept. 22, 2025, Fearless Leader Trump signed an executive order to designate "Antifa" as a domestic terrorist organization [34][35]. Academics, legal experts, and other sane onlookers argue that such an executive action exceeds the authority of the U.S. presidency and violates the First Amendment [37][38][39]. Analyses, reports, and studies have concluded that antifa is NOT, for one thing, an "organization" but rather an idea and, for another, NOT a major domestic terrorism risk [40][41][42]. But never mind that. Trump is ruler so we MUST obey him even if he mandates illegal, immoral, genocidal crimes or anything based on the words of a lying liar who lies.

The World Naked Bike Ride 2024

Man, look at the moobs on these guys. We do it for the environment and to be our natural selves.

WARNING: (Tom Saxer) World Naked Bike Ride 2024, London, UK, meeting at Tower Hill

Put a bra on, Old Timer! There are children here.

Naked Bike Ride 2024 was covered by Allison Barr for The Oregonian/OregonLive. Even though the official ride was put on hold this year, a spin-off of the World Naked Bike Ride pedaled through Portland on Saturday afternoon.

The ride organizers emphasize that it’s first and foremost a protest against fossil fuel dependency.

Second, it’s a communal place to celebrate being ourselves, exactly how we are.

• Tom Cruise awarded by US Navy for inspiring recruits: Hey, Tom, recruitment is down, make another Top Gun propaganda reel for us, maybe a spy flick where you do your own stunts! Woo! Go, Tom!

I also love riding bikes! - Luigi Nicki Mangione

The “official” World Naked Bike Ride took a hiatus this year. But protesting cyclists still wanted to gather for a ride. As one of the speakers before Saturday’s ride explained: It’s an effort to bring their qualms with Zenith Energy into the limelight. They also want to inspire others to commute via bike and celebrate body positivity.

Saturday afternoon, hundreds of bodies gathered at Colonel Summers Park in Southeast Portland around 4:00 pm. This was a change from the ride’s usual nighttime slot. After people painted each other, danced to music blasting from multiple speakers, and delivered emotional speeches into microphones, a sea of naked and nearly-naked people on bikes headed out.

Their plan is to lie down at the Zenith Energy building in Northwest Portland for ten minutes before ending the ride at the waterfront.

As the ride organizer going by the name Spartacus said, “Give yourself permission to know it’s your body. And feel a sense of belonging to your life and your body because your body chooses clean air, clean water, clean rivers.” Source

Calif heatwave, Yellowstone freezes

California braces for blistering 113F heatwave as wildfires rip through Golden State amid evacuations

(The Mirror US) California is bracing for blistering a heatwave as wildfires rip through the Golden State sparking evacuations. Temperatures across the state are set to soar on Tuesday after a relatively mild Labor Day weekend, with some areas seeing temperatures as high as 113 degrees.

It's another mandatory beach day in Southern California to fight the heat with cold LA seawater

Los Angeles will see highs in the 90s for much of next week and inland areas such as Palm Springs will see temperatures topping 110 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

While Northern California won’t see as extreme temperatures as the southern portion of the state, they will still be above average temperatures for most of the week.

This will all go on while fire crews are battling wildfires all over the state with the largest being near the Tahoe National Forest, north of the capital Sacramento near the Nevada border.

Rite of passage: 'Long Line of Ladies' (film)

Long Line of Ladies (LA Asian Pacific Film Festival)

I called my dad and told him my menstrual period began. He was so happy, he rushed home.

When does a girl become a woman? Ihuk

VCM) "Long Line of Ladies is a stigma-breaking, female-directed short documentary that gives viewers a glimpse into the story of the Karuk tribe of Northern California.

"It takes a significant step forward, normalizing period conversations by highlighting a culture that celebrates and uplifts its young women when they come of age."

From Academy Award-winner Rayka Zehtabchi and Shaandiin Tome, Long Line of Ladies intimately observes the months-long process of one girl, her family, and their tight-knit Karuk as they come together to prepare for her Ihuk.

• Indigenous America's most sacred landmarks (USA)
• Ty'ithreeha Allen's Ihuk Ceremony: Alliance for California Traditional Arts (actaonline.org)

Are goddesses only symbolic?

The Ihuk is the Native American tribe's coming-of-age ceremony for girls, which had gone dormant for over a century due to the violence and destruction brought on by the new Americans and their California Gold Rush.

In the weeks leading up to her Ihuk, Native American girl Ahty learns traditional songs and dances and mentally and physically prepares to spend four days blindfolded and fasting on sacred, tribal land.

Meanwhile, the women and men of the tribe around her support and uplift her as they pass down knowledge, prepare regalia, and above all promote the continued revitalization of their sacred ceremony. 

• The Ihuk Ceremony and Maple Bark Skirts - Alliance for California Traditional Arts (actaonline.org)

When I was a girl

The Daughter-Goddess Persephone

My name is Ty’ithreeha Allen. I am 16 years old now. I had my Ihuk ceremony when I was 12. I grew up attending flower dances, which are coming-of-age ceremonies held for [Indian] girls who have become young women at the onset of their period. My mom was pregnant with me when the first flower dance, or Ihuk as it is called in the Karuk language, was held again after not being held for over 80 years. So I have grown up attending the dance and other ceremonies my entire life. I have grown up dancing, learning, and practicing my culture. My family and I prepared for my Ihuk for two years before the actual ceremony took place. All of that prepared me for my Ihuk as I entered womanhood. More

Discussion with the filmmakers

It's good to get our ancient culture back.
