Episode 18: The Legend of Sasquatch - Hairy Man's Tears

INDIGENOUS HERITAGE MONTH IS HERE! Thus, Radio Grave's 4-part Sasquatch mini-series has begun! For every week of November, we will be diving into the significance of Sasquatch within Native culture, traditions and history from a perspective removed from eurocentrism. Our series begins in the sequoia woodlands of the Tule River Indian Reservation, nestled in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Here, we discover the sacred site of Painted Rock, where centuries-old pictographs guide us through the creation story of the Tachi-Yokut people and reveal the significance of an enigmatic being as old as time. His body covered in hair, and his eyes filled with tears... He is known as Mayak Datat.⁠⁠BECOME A PATRON⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW OUR INSTA ⁠⁠⁠⁠ -⁠⁠ SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE⁠⁠⁠⁠WE ARE LOOKING FOR LISTENER STORIES FOR THE END OF SEASON 2!⁠⁠If you have had anything strange or unexplained happen to you...
