This is a rather
important sighting simply because it confirms the extreme northern
reach of the Sasquatch even into the barren lands. The town of
Akulivik is in the far north well away from the tree line. Most
likely, the creature was simply following the caribou herds at this
time of year and was caught traversing open country.
In case you have not
noticed, something has happened in the Sasquatch world. Witnesses
are now been listened too by the mainstream media. Perhaps the sheer
weight of legitimate sightings finally got to them. In this case, we
have surprised witnesses who are wood wise and certainly can describe
what they see accurately. In this case they even got to see this
creature demonstrate its full locomotion capacity as well. There
was no mistaking what they actually saw here.
It would be nice to have
someone experienced go in and complete an investigation, but that
appears unlikely in this case. Yet the story does ring true and
makes good sense. Besides, no one has made anything but grief from
reporting on this phenomena. As it is, these women were extremely
lucky to make this observation. There is effectively no population
in this country. They were likely making an annual visit to a
favored berry patch. The Sasquatch itself was passing through. The
intersection in time was about ten minutes.
The important information
here is that they will follow game into the Barrens even and might
plausibly be spotted that way although it will not be with their
cooperation.
Sasquatch sighting
by Nunavik berry pickers
Women report seeing
15-foot-tall creature with long dark hair

Two women in Nunavik
had an unusual encounter while berry picking on Saturday.
Maggie Cruikshank
Qingalik, who is from Akulivik, Que., said her friend saw some kind
of creature out in the wilderness.
Qingalik said at
first, they thought it was another person picking berries. Then they
noticed it was covered in long, dark hair.
The creature's
footprint reportedly measure 40 centimetres in length. (Facebook)
She said it was
walking upright along the side of a hill, and was taking long
strides. They said it would also sometimes crawl.
“We weren't sure
what it was first. It is not a human being, it was really tall, and
kept coming towards our direction and we could tell it was not a
human,” she said.
Qingalik said the
creature was 10 feet tall. Pictures posted on Facebook show the
alleged footprints are 40 centimetres long.
The women said the
creature didn’t appear vicious, nor did it appear interested in
them.
Understandably for
such a sighting, the women got scared, hopped on their ATV, and
headed back to the community to warn people about what they saw.
Expert says
sightings not rare in Canada
Loren Coleman, the
director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland,
Maine, has been studying sasquatch and Bigfoot sightings in North
America for more than 50 years.
“It sounds like a
traditional kind of sighting. I think the only thing I would wonder
about would be the height of 10 feet with a footprint as large as you
said. But that happens people exaggerate,” he said.
Coleman said Bigfoot
or sasquatch tend to be six and a half to eight feet tall. He said
they have been spotted throughout the U.S. and Canada since the
1800s.
Since the region has
become more populated, Coleman said the sightings have been relegated
to the wilderness.
He said he hopes
someone took measurements and some good photographs of this most
recent sighting.
“If someone could go
back there and take some plaster casts, that might be quite helpful
in terms of comparing it to the database of other footprints in
Canada,” he said.
In Nunavik or Nunavut,
Coleman suggests sasquatch may hole up in caves to protect themselves
from the elements.
He added they may
sustain themselves on a diet similar to caribou. However, he said the
omnivores are opportunistic and could eat a range of food including
salmon or road kill.
Coleman said he is
skeptical when he investigates these sightings. He said he wants to
make sure it is not just a common animal, or people trying to make a
buck.
