13 Jun 1864 Jahr - Tsiatko Documentations
Beschreibung:
Ethnographer, George Gibbs was a Harvard University researcher who went to Washington to report the beliefs of the Indigenous Washingtonians, mainly the Chehalis and Colville tribes. He reported their beliefs of the Tsiakto or "Wild person" in English. In There folklore, Tsiakto are large, hairy wild men of the forest. There are two different kinds of Tsiakto that appear in folklore: powerful but comparatively benign forest spirits sometimes referred to as Night People (similar to the Sasquatch of the Halkomelem tribes,) and fearsome, malevolent man-eaters sometimes referred to as Stick Indians. The two beings are often confused in folklore and anthropology alike, because it is believed to antagonize these spirits to call them by their Salish names in public, so general terms like Seatco (which just means "spirit,") Night People, and Stick Indians are much more commonly used by Northwest Native Americans. George Gibbs was one of the first westerners to document the Indigenous beliefs of bigfoot.
