Paka, an Inupiaq villager from the Noatak River Valley, shares deep oral traditions and personal sightings concerning the Sasquatch and the 'little people' (Inun) of the Arctic. Paka details various classifications of little people, including the 'Inuor'—mischievous, garden-gnome-like beings with red eyes and immense strength known to carry large game, such as caribou, across the tundra.
Sonny Grant, a Tlingit elder of the Wolf Clan from Juneau, shares deep ancestral knowledge regarding the 'Cannibal Giant'—a figure synonymous with the Sasquatch/Hairy Man. Sonny recounts stories passed down through generations in Haines, Cake, and Juneau of these entities capturing and consuming children left out past dark.
An interview with Sonny Grant from Juneau, who shares two of his encounters.
Around 2013, a seasonal lodge worker named Tim took four days off to join two indigenous local friends in a 20-foot Lund skiff traveling up the Kokwok River, a tributary of the Nushagak River below Ekwok. Half a mile past a teardrop-shaped gravel bar at the river's mouth, they discovered a local subsistence gill net that had been intentionally and intricately woven through with thick tree branches and driftwood.
An Ahtna tribally enrolled woman named Mary recalled a profound historical account from her childhood in Chitina during the early 1970s, where a village elder shared an encounter from his youth on the eastern side of the Copper River. While hunting deep inland on an open flat situated directly above Horse Creek, the hunting party experienced an intense, creepy atmospheric dread and followed a strange chattering sound up a ridge line.
In a village panel recording, a Dillingham-born Yup'ik woman named Hillary detailed the traditional, generational safeguards and encounters surrounding the communities of the Nushagak River drainage, including Ekwok, Portage Creek, Stuyahok, and New Koliganek. Raised under strict elders' warnings that stepping into the dark sloughs or river bluffs would cause children to be abducted or eaten by the 'hairy man,' Hillary noted that the presence of inverted, root-up spruce tree markers cleanly jammed into the soil was a routine sight in the region.
In an extensive panel interview, a mainland native resident named Mike detailed the profound oral histories and recent close-range encounters on a remote, windswept island in the Bering Sea. Mike's grandfather (born in 1904) maintained historical accounts of a rogue 'hairy man' who systematically abducted and consumed disobedient village children caught out past dark, culminating in a historic campaign where a local shaman tracked and dispatched an entity, slicing open its stomach to recover nine hairless, amnesiac children.
