One of these creatures, now known as Bigfoot, passed beyond the realm of native lore and has become firmly entrenched in modern culture - for we too have seen this mysterious being.</p><p>For countless ages before Europeans set foot in North America, native people inhabited the vast arctic regions, forests, deserts, and plains. They lived off the bountiful land, and developed unique cultures with stories of their heroes and adventures that have been passed down through successive generations. Many stories involved fearsome creatures with supernatural powers, believed to wander the land in a shadowy existence somewhere between reality and the unknown.</p><p>One of these creatures, now known as Bigfoot, passed beyond the realm of native lore and has become firmly entrenched in modern culture - for we too have seen this mysterious being.</p><p>Kathy Moskowitz Strain, a professional archaeologist and anthropologist with the U.S. Forest Service in California, presents in this volume a collection of verbatim stories from 55 native cultures that tell of giants, cannibals, and monsters in North America. We are taken to the campfires where such stories have been repeated for thousands of years by native elders and warriors. The work has been skillfully arranged with native culture profiles and hundreds of photographs of the respective native people in their various walks of life. Above all, this book is an adventure into the inner circles of our aboriginal people. It provides a unique insight into a part of their mythology, values, and spirituality.</p><p>For those interested in this fascinating branch of human knowledge, this work is invaluable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Giants, Cannibals, & Monsters. Bigfoot in Native Culture is one of the most compelling Bigfoot books I have ever read, filled with illustrations of Native culture and folklore tales...The Native tribes have been speaking of these beings for generations and having to deal with them on a level of strange circumstances or actually fending for their lives. From tales of cannibal giants who will throw you in a basket filled with spikes and eat you in their soup, to tales like the one entitled The Snake with the Big Feet from Cherokee folklore...There are many more wonderous tales in the book and I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in getting to the true roots of Bigfoot and other odd beings that roam the Earth...this book is a wild trip through the roots and truths of their background and heritage shared from Native tribes all across the lands. I am a great lover of Native American folklore and folklore across the Earth from indigenous tribes, and this book has quickly become one of my favorites of all the time.
