And my name is Kevin Arrow, 16 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:17.719 and I'm from Manitoba here in Canada, and I've always 17 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:26.439 been interested in I guess the topic is cryptozoology. I 18 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.439 guess you could say since I was a kid when 19 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.519 I was so, I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but 20 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:40.280 I'm originally from a reserve up north College of alan 21 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:46.920 Creenam and they're adjacent to Cedar Lake, Manitoba, I mean 22 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.359 to Cedar Lake, the lake that's or I saw my 23 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.680 had my sighting. And but when I was a child 24 00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:01.640 in Winnipeg, I got into a library of a school 25 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.080 and I got into all kinds of topics and one 26 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.919 of the interestings, one the interesting one was cryptozoology and 27 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.680 all that stuff like that, like like sasquatch and all that. 28 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.080 And the one that got me the most interested was 29 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:29.960 seeing Bigfoot with Gimblin Patterson photo. I guess the best 30 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.919 still a picture of the video he cook And like 31 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:42.319 I heard stories of Harry Man, I guess you could 32 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:50.639 hear from my grandfather ab lived in the wilderness. And 33 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:56.000 I don't even think that my grandfather's generation even knew 34 00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:03.240 the name of Stassquatch is because that name comes from 35 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.039 the West coast with the Salors people, I believe, And 36 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.680 I guess what it depends on which the area you're from. 37 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.800 There's a different term for the same being, like the 38 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:28.759 yeti or yeah we or sasquatch or a bigfoot. But yeah, 39 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.800 So I became interested in that was because of the 40 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.800 books I was reading in school, and I became a 41 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:43.520 believer in such a such a topic of Sasquatch and 42 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.439 I grew up in the city, so I barely We 43 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.439 only went up north twice here in the summer and 44 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.479 then for Christmas once in a while. But we got 45 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:09.319 to uh hear about I guess the stories of Sasquatch. 46 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.360 I guess you'd say from community members. But this was 47 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.839 during the eighties, and uh, I know there was one 48 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:24.199 story of this gentleman who went out hunting with a 49 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.839 rifle in this particular area and he ended up coming 50 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:35.199 back naked with no gun. Then he didn't want to 51 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.560 talk about what happened to him. I guess he was 52 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.639 traumatized by it and he didn't Uh he didn't go 53 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:48.439 back hunting after that is but what people say, I 54 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.360 don't know this man personally, but it was just a 55 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.639 story whose story that happened in my community of my hometown. 56 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.279 But where I'm from the that's the uh Seier Lake 57 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:11.560 Umocre Nation. There's many people who have who I had 58 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:21.319 sightings of Spasquatch. I guess there's uh like my people 59 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.759 give a little into the history of that. I guess 60 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.680 a bit. We came from the islands inside Cedar Lake, 61 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:34.160 and uh what happened was the provincial government and the 62 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.319 fifties decided to build it down at the end of 63 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:45.560 this Saskatchewan River and Gyda Rapids, Mannesota, and they ended 64 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:55.839 up flooding lake into a huge, a bigger lake, and uh, 65 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.959 our people got flooded out of our the islands we 66 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:05.519 still on. And they made a new town called Eastville, Manitoba, 67 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:12.480 which they built in the sixties. So in the when 68 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.160 they made that newly formed town, I guess the highways 69 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:24.279 didn't go that high up north past a town called Gibsonville, Manitoba. 70 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.959 So when they built the dam in Grand Rapids, they 71 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:33.240 have to build the highways six further up north to 72 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.800 reach the dam, and in doing so they have to 73 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:42.720 build a highway. Sixty we runs east west, number six 74 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.399 runs north south. So where they built that number sixty 75 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:54.240 highway was a land bridge which is on It's situated 76 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.360 in between Cedar Lake on the Soffshore, Cedar Lake and 77 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:05.079 the north of Blake, Winnipegosis. And it's a very long 78 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.480 and narrow strip of land. It's like six kilometers wide 79 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:16.240 and probably like sixty kilometers long maybe. So my theory 80 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.480 was growing up that was that's called the land bridge. 81 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:28.639 Pretty much it's geological name of that formation, and I 82 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:34.360 just had a theory that well, obviously it is anything 83 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.680 wild that lives in the wilderness would cross during the 84 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.639 summertime on the land bridge, and that's where they built 85 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.040 this number sixty highway. And what happened in the after 86 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.079 that highway was built in the nineteen sixties, that's when 87 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:57.639 people from the south started having sightings because they weren't 88 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.959 there was no highway there. I want for like its 89 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:06.120 whole existence, and all of a sudden, the provincial government 90 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.279 builds a highway right along the whole land bridge. So 91 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:17.040 there started to be sightings of Sasquat by people of 92 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.920 who aren't from our community. So there's one sighting of 93 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.519 a teacher in the sixties after the highway was built. 94 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.079 She recorded to the I can't remember if it was 95 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.720 a Winnipeg Free Press or the Winnipeg for Dune newspapers 96 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.039 that she saw a big, large, hairy man or whatever 97 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:48.200 I monster. And that's that's that. I remember seeing that 98 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.519 a news article. I can't find it again. I checked, 99 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.720 but I could probably go into archives and find it. 100 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.159 Type I really was. But yeah, that's the first, probably 101 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:06.840 the first reporting of a Sasquatch in Cedar Lake area 102 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:16.559 by non Indigenous person. Yeah, so there's a portage there 103 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.080 in between the two lakes that indigenous people used. And 104 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:29.159 how I got into this topic of us the Sasquatch. 105 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.000 I wanted to know about the history of Cedar Lake 106 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.399 pretty much and where my people came from. And I 107 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:44.000 discovered that why it was called Cedar Lake was that's 108 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.960 the only lake or only location in all of Western 109 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:53.919 Canada besides the West Coast, that had cedar trees in abundance. 110 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.039 If the listeners want to look on the like Google 111 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.600 Earth and they zoomed into Sea Lake and they looked 112 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:10.279 at the south shore line. Uh yeah, you could see 113 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:18.759 the land bridge I'm talking about. And near the west side. 114 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:26.639 Southwest shore line was where the a huge river called 115 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:33.279 the Saskatchewan River that flows from like Yukon or I 116 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:40.000 remember a farm uh Alberta. I think, all the way 117 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:45.080 through the Saskatchewan and through Manitoba, and it goes went 118 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:51.399 through Cedar Lake and the most east part of the 119 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:57.440 rivers ended at Grod Rapids, Manitoba, and that's where that 120 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:05.159 dam was built. But h where the Saskatchewan River met 121 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:10.879 Cedar like has created North America's fourth largest inland delta 122 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:19.000 at the time. Ah, and what that happened. What happened 123 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:26.320 was when the Saskatchewan River was draining h its contents 124 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:34.559 and its nutrient rich silk that was gaining since standard 125 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:42.159 the last sliced age. I guess all that nutrients and 126 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:48.919 the silk created this like environment that supported all a 127 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:54.240 rich amount of life. All kinds of wildlife were attracted 128 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:59.720 to that delta area and they created a marsh and 129 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.799 they all at the summer berry marsh. And uh, indigenous 130 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:09.519 people were attracted as well, because what happened was that 131 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:18.240 delta created so many birds every spring. And uh, what 132 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.919 happens to the indigenous people were living off of pemican 133 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:30.320 all winter, which is pemmican is like like a food 134 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:35.240 source that they Indigenous people created out of like buis 135 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:42.799 and meat wild berries like blueberries, and rendered that and 136 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.919 they mixed it and they kept all all winter and 137 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.840 they could survive off it. I can guarantee you that 138 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:56.000 after like six months of eating pemmican, they got somewhat 139 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.960 sick of it. And each spring when the birds arrived 140 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.519 and them snow all melted, they all flocked like the 141 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.759 literally the people flocked to like the birds the cedar lake. 142 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.600 Uh so they could all eat from yeast pretty much 143 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:21.320 from other birds that they caught, and uh and what 144 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:27.120 else grew there was like all kinds of like plants 145 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:33.039 and trees, and the cedar tree was growing there in abundance, 146 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.879 and uh what what all that the resources that grew 147 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.399 there enabled the indigenous people there to to have make 148 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.919 canoes every year. And they all came from as far 149 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:55.360 as like the Arctic and the east, the Three People, 150 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.279 and the west all the way up to and far 151 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:06.840 south as like North Dakota's. They all met there every 152 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:12.919 spring and they had product ceremonies and all kinds of 153 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:19.480 other engagements and memorials of people who both elders who 154 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:27.159 passed in that winter. But what happened was that that 155 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:35.440 happened for a while, and so I learned about how 156 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.519 everyone was attracted to that lake. And so we've had 157 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:48.159 stories of sasquatch, but there weren't We didn't call them 158 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:55.679 sasquatch until probably recently, but there's stories of latter stories 159 00:14:55.679 --> 00:15:02.159 of the sasquatch by our people every year. And uh 160 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:07.559 so what I did was some something from the hot 161 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:12.360 the hot dead I guess he could say of Sasquatch 162 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:20.240 activity and see the lake. I created a Facebook page 163 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.200 called Man of the Sasquatch group. I can't remember what 164 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:29.399 it's called, manat to the Sasquatch. Yeah, I can't, but 165 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:40.679 I'm trying to promote Sasquatch the topic on different levels, 166 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.840 like because I did before I get into that, like 167 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.600 there's like a like I like, I noticed there's different 168 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:56.120 levels of this Sasquatch topic. And I guess. I guess 169 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.480 the first level, I guess is people who don't know, 170 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.799 they're unaware of it, and I guess the second there 171 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:09.679 is people who don't care. And then there's the non believers. 172 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:18.200 These people, ah, they don't believe. Even if you showed 173 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.360 them pictures or video, or even even if you had 174 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:27.639 a body like a specimen, they probably wouldn't believe anyways. 175 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:33.399 And then there's the scoffers, These people make fun of 176 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:44.639 Sasquatch believers. Yeah, and then there's the believers and uh, 177 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.759 these are people who've never seen seen one, but they 178 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:55.000 still believe, and they believe based off of other people's 179 00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:02.639 stories or they believe off of pictures or videos like well, 180 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.240 my experience. And then you go from a believer to 181 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:13.960 a nowhere. These people are the ones that are in 182 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:21.519 a different category. And this category of knowers also is 183 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:28.759 sub categorized two people. I guess you could call it 184 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:38.920 the first degree. People who saw are closed. The first degree, 185 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.240 i'd say, were the people who were so close that 186 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:46.759 they were like able, like almost touched sasquatro. They were 187 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.759 touched because there's a story. I'll get into the story 188 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:57.799 of Moosely in a second. How I know people get 189 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.240 touched are are so close to a Sasquatch there, like 190 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.400 this lady. There's Moose Lake, which is just north of 191 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:13.039 Seer Lake. There's a reserve and it's actually I can't 192 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:18.400 remember the indigenous name, but it's called Moose Lake. And 193 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.839 I guess there was a bunch of kids walking in 194 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:26.319 the outskirts of that lake, of that community, and one 195 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.000 girl was lagging behind, and there was like a like 196 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:35.839 a picked youth walking ahead. I guess a young a 197 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:41.039 younger sasquash jumped out of the forest and picked that 198 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.759 young girl up and hoisted her on her shoulder, on 199 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.680 his shoulders. I would assume it was a he, a 200 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:55.119 mantle Sasquatch, and was attempting to abduct or take that 201 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.359 young girl into the forest, and she flipped out. As 202 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.119 a story goes, and there's like a YouTube video of it. 203 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:10.160 You'd have to look for a moose lake, Moose Lake sasquatch. 204 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.319 If you typed in Google, you'll see a video of 205 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:20.559 an elder showing the footprints. I guess he outlines the 206 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:27.599 footprints with stones and pebbles just to show where the 207 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.599 where the sasquatch walked. And I guess that girl fought 208 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:39.200 off that sasquatch and she was dropped and the other 209 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.920 youth came running and hollering. Yes. That's why I say 210 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.519 there's that first degree of being a knowwherre, and then 211 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.720 there's a second degree, which is the people who saw it, 212 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.119 and I guess it could be from like zero, like 213 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:04.079 zero to one hundred meters and then a hundred meter 214 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:09.079 plus sightings. And and then there's the third degree I 215 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.759 would say, I would call it, and that is they 216 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.920 had an experience, but no sighting like noise calls or 217 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:24.720 rocks being thrown from the forest. So I became a 218 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:31.000 knower when I had the theory that sasquatch crossed on 219 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:36.720 that land bridge from Cedar Lake. In between Cedar Lake 220 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:44.440 and like Winnipeg Grosses and there's this portage that Indigenous 221 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:50.960 people used to go north south, south, north whatever, and 222 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:54.519 the people of the South Lake Whinnipeg Ghosts area would 223 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.839 use that portage to go to Cedar Lake. And later 224 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:04.400 on during the fur trade uh uh, the leavengrea the 225 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:10.599 French family the Levere they explored the west from the 226 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.880 Montreal area and they came across Sea Lake and they 227 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:21.279 saw a richer resources whatever they so they built a 228 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.839 fur trade for it there and they were pretty much 229 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:31.920 using that portage. So what I had a theory that 230 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:38.519 they the sasquash across that portage from So when you 231 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.039 zoom in to uh, if you go into Google Earth, 232 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.279 then you zoom in you could see all over pretty 233 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.839 much any lake and the wilderness. That's how good the 234 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.480 images are nowadays. You can see all kinds of wildlife 235 00:21:53.559 --> 00:22:00.559 trails in the trees and like up here. The isn't 236 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.279 like how it is in the States where he could 237 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.559 like walk like walk on the ground. Up here, it's 238 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:14.039 pretty much muskeg up north or Ceedar Lake areas, and 239 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.599 there's like limestone ground. So it's it's either you're gonna 240 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.720 be walking on solid limestone, or you're gonna be walking 241 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:30.279 on a muskeg or Yeah. So well these trails that 242 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.559 you can see them them all around the lakes and 243 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.480 especially Cedar Lake. Uh, like the animals use them obviously, 244 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:43.960 but my theory was U Sasquatch used them as well. 245 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:53.559 And so I guess that place was it's called High Portage. Uh, 246 00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:03.160 we're the most north part of that portage that is 247 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:09.359 that meets Cedar Lake. Kind of a famous area I 248 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:15.720 guess in our stories in that our community there there 249 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:20.000 was a huge battle that happened there and uh yeah, 250 00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.119 so like we don't know who they were at the time. 251 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.440 I have a theory who it is. But yeah, I've 252 00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.279 been researching about all this stuff for about like sixteen 253 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.559 years now, like all the topics of like Sasquatch and 254 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:44.000 Cedar Lake history and so High Portage is if you 255 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:49.079 looked up on the map, there's a like wildlife trail 256 00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:54.759 connects with the human trail. Portage is made by a human. 257 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:58.960 Only human is gonna go from lake to lake with 258 00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:03.839 their with their news. Yeah. So what happened was that 259 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:11.440 I actually actually had a theory. Does that's exactly where 260 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.079 a sasquatch crossed, and as it turned out too that 261 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.559 I guess there's a lot of sightings of sasquatch that 262 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.440 happened in that area, and I've heard the stories from 263 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:30.920 different friends. I've seen it there. So I told my mom, 264 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:35.519 I know exactly where they walk and yeah, so my 265 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:39.799 mom is like one of these I guess non believers, 266 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:47.720 and so I took her specifically on the trail. It's 267 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:53.400 like you could take a vehicle, but it's like a 268 00:24:53.440 --> 00:25:00.240 wildlife the wilderness pretty much right. So the side thing 269 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:08.880 I had was I told my mom to drive with 270 00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.039 Actually I was the one driving. I was I was 271 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:17.720 going coasting speed the whole time from number sixty Highway 272 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.640 off the Portage trail and by the time we got 273 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:29.240 nearly to the end, that's when we saw this huge 274 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:36.599 black mass in the middle of the trail and it 275 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.480 looked like a huge bear like from Fara. And it 276 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:43.839 had that been a huge bear, that would have been 277 00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:50.279 like the world's most world smashed world record of a 278 00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:54.400 black bear ever, because that thing was like, I don't 279 00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:58.880 like four feet five feet wide, and well we saw 280 00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:04.880 it was like it was like a ball on a 281 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.200 couch down, Like we didn't know it was crouched down. 282 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.559 We just had a huge mass on the road. And 283 00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:15.279 then it stood up and walked on two legs for 284 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.400 like three strides, and then it got back down and 285 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.039 I guess it was picking at the ground on the trail. 286 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.880 It must have been berries or something, because there are 287 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:28.400 wild strawberries that grew in the area. But I didn't 288 00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:32.480 check what they was looking for, but what And then 289 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:35.160 all of a sudden it must have heard the van 290 00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:38.880 or smelled the van, because in that short time, we 291 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.440 were trying to get our cameras ready, and by the 292 00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.839 time we had like just as we were about to 293 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.920 start recording video and stuff, I looked around it like 294 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:56.039 snapped its head back and it rose like a split second, 295 00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.440 and then it took off running. It didn't run on 296 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:05.640 two legs. It ran on u its hands and his feet. 297 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:09.680 But uh yeah, so when it was walking on two feet, 298 00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:15.279 what we saw, like my mother, uh she was saying, 299 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.440 it's walking like a human. It's walking like a human, 300 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:22.079 that's what she said. And uh yeah, that's it walked 301 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.240 three strides and then this went back to croaching. So 302 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.839 it's not like it was a bear. We saw a bear, 303 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.880 but that thing was like eating half eat nine feet 304 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.440 tall or some like. That thing was big and wide, 305 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.799 and uh, it took off running on all hands and 306 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:48.599 hands and feet like like a dog or a bear 307 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:55.200 wood and so yeah, so after that sighting, we we 308 00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.160 it's it's what happened. It took off, it down it 309 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.160 like maybe four times three times, and it took off 310 00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:07.279 into the bush to the right, and uh we my 311 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:09.400 mother and I drove up to that spy and there 312 00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:14.880 was like this like hole in this forest trail was 313 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:20.079 probably like a barry trail or something. And I try 314 00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:21.599 to go in there to see if I could see 315 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.839 any like hair on the trees or something, and it 316 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:28.400 was starting to be wood ticks seasons. I don't want 317 00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:32.240 to get wood ticks, man, because they're like probably babies 318 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:35.200 at that time, and because I didn't want to risk it. 319 00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:41.519 So my mother and I continued to the lakes through 320 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.400 the lake and uh, she wasn't scared. I wasn't scared. 321 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.920 It's like like, I don't know why there's a I 322 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.279 guess some people are terrified when they see it. Uh, 323 00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:58.759 with my experience my mother and I had was like 324 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.119 just like we were amaze. He was like, I was like, 325 00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:06.160 I finally saw what I believed, you know, and where 326 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.480 I said it was going to be. And yeah, so 327 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.799 my mother was a one hundred percent non believer at 328 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:22.400 that point, I guess based on I don't know why. 329 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:28.480 Maybe I don't know. Some people don't believe stuff like that, 330 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.480 But I don't want to guess or make up things 331 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:37.200 for her. But I believed, and we sure sure enough, 332 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:42.000 I saw it. I became an or that these are 333 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:46.119 the levels of Sasquatch. I guess it's like five or 334 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:52.920 six or something by other community members, but there's like 335 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:55.720 quite a few of them. I actually want to write 336 00:29:55.720 --> 00:30:00.279 a Sasquatch book about this, to go along with that 337 00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.960 Sasquatch group I made in Facebook. I want to bring 338 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:11.680 awareness because I know these things are real. And yeah, 339 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:17.119 another thing too is I know, like what are they like? 340 00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:22.599 Are they are they an animal? Are they a sub human? 341 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:30.160 Or they inter planetary species or intergalactic species or whatever 342 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.119 people want to say, because trying to say they're go 343 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:38.960 through like portals and like, I don't know, I think 344 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:46.640 they're just some likes like Anthropithecus. I guess, I guess 345 00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:52.920 that's what I think They're un like the gorilla, the ape. 346 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:58.799 You know, in the nine early nineteen hundreds, they weren't 347 00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:04.960 known about typically and uh what happened was, uh some 348 00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:11.720 there were stories by indigenous people of the area of 349 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:17.519 sightings of monsters I guess in the mountains, and uh, 350 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.119 finally they were documented, you know. So I think that's 351 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:28.279 what the sasquatches is, some kind of undocumented heap of 352 00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:34.480 some sort. So I think what I'm trying to do 353 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:39.400 is gain some kind of legislation, I guess with with 354 00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:47.720 the my provincial government, Uh, have like protection over like 355 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:52.920 its habitat so it's not over mined or over over 356 00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:58.920 hunted or whatever, not over hunted over a log forestry, 357 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:06.319 you know. So as well, I wanted to have laws 358 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:11.400 where people can't shoot one if they think they're gonna 359 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:17.119 go hunt sasquatch and get away with it, as well 360 00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:22.839 as what other kind of legislation. Oh yeah, I like 361 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.960 to harass it. And it's like a known habitat. Ever 362 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:36.519 can if we could, we could really locate where like 363 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:41.920 maybe potential breeding ground is Because part of my research 364 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:50.200 into Manitoba history, I've been reading about, well, the Cedar 365 00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:54.559 Lake frank Into Cedar Lake has different errands to its 366 00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.319 being to its presence, I guess. And that was the 367 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.519 last ice Age. This whole continent, pretty much more than 368 00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:12.720 continent was covered in like two mile high ice ice 369 00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:19.960 sheets all over all over the the continent and that 370 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:25.279 over time melted away and it created this huge lake 371 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.039 called Lake Agacy that covered most of the western provinces, 372 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:37.519 and over time that lake drained, and uh, that's where 373 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:41.000 we see the remnants of the smaller lakes that we 374 00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:47.880 see on the map, like the Great Lakes and like 375 00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.640 larger lakes like Lake Manitoba, like Whennipay goth this and 376 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:56.799 Cedar Lake even and the other history that it has 377 00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:02.000 is with once that lake trained human and we're attracted 378 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:07.640 to area is because of the resources that were going 379 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:14.119 and locking here pretty much. And indigenous people met at 380 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:18.440 c l A and made canoes for six thousand years roughly, 381 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:28.239 i'd say. And next was the Europeans. They came in 382 00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.920 the English up north in the Hudson's Bay. They had 383 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:38.320 the Hudson's Bay Company and they did vankom Land for 384 00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.599 like a couple of hundred years or one hundred and 385 00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:44.559 fifty years or something. Ny only stayed in their forts 386 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:50.559 when they built these factories they called them. And I 387 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:56.079 guess one one young man Englishman named Henry Kelsey. He 388 00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:01.920 was the first European to actually leave the fort walls 389 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:06.639 and to intermingle with the indigenous people. And over time 390 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:14.039 he learned the language of Cree and Uh. I guess 391 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:22.400 his employer's the bosses of Rocking Bay Company h SAW. 392 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.440 So they uh hired him are they forcefully said, he 393 00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:33.800 volunteered to make these excursions into uh. Well. First they 394 00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:37.639 sent Henry Kelsey up north, north of Churchill, and he 395 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:42.440 ended up that being a failed mission because he couldn't 396 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.880 walk in a straight line for very long because of 397 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:50.880 all the small lakes that were there. Riddle of the 398 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:56.320 north in the tundra. So he came back to Hudson's 399 00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:03.199 York factory it's called and uh they sent him south 400 00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:10.159 and I guess he was gone for like three years. 401 00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:12.679
