For centuries, stories of towering, hairy beings have circulated through Native American folklore and modern eyewitness reports, painting a vivid picture of a creature who evades discovery, yet leaves behind tantalizing evidence. With deep ties to Native culture, where it's known as Sasquatch or the “hairy man,” Bigfoot has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, both feared and revered.
