The Northern Apes: Oklahoma Native Reveals the Truth About Bigfoot (They Use Sign Language!)

from SASQUATCH THEORY · host SASQUATCH THEORY

In this episode, I interview Josh from Oklahoma, a Native American man whose family has lived alongside the Sasquatch for generations. Josh refers to them as Northern Apes, and he grew up hearing warnings not to talk about them — because speaking about these beings brings attention to the land, and the Bigfoot don’t like that. Josh had his first encounter at just 11 years old, when he saw a black-and-brown Sasquatch squatting in the woods making whoop calls. His grandfather had always warned him not to be out after dark, and that “there are Bigfoot in those woods.” Josh assumed it was just a story… until the creature stood up tall, stared him down, and began signing with its hands. Over the years, Josh has seen multiple Bigfoot, each one looking a little different. He has watched them communicate by hitting trees, swing from branches, drop to all fours to stalk prey, and even hunt together as a coordinated unit. During one terrifying encounter, Josh watched a Sasquatch grab a coyote and smash it against a tree. His most chilling experience took place inside a cave system in Oklahoma. Josh and his cousin heard a roar like a lion, followed by whoops echoing from outside the cave. Moments later, one of the beings shouted a phrase in its own language — “NAH-HA-TAY” — before rushing toward them with painted faces and blocky, canine teeth. Josh believes it was warning them to leave the area immediately. Josh says the Sasquatch are protectors of the land, but they can be aggressive when humans get too close or violate their boundaries. This is one of the most unique and detailed Native American perspectives on Bigfoot you will ever hear. If you enjoy these conversations, please like, share, and subscribe.

The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
