The Origin of Sasquatch
In 1925, John Burns, a school teacher at the Trillius Indian Reservation, learned about a legendary creature called Sesquet, known as "wild man" in Salish language. This tale eventually led to the mainstream term of Sasquatch. Over time, encounters with this giant creature increased, with numerous Indian tribes and eyewitnesses describing sightings, including the destruction of a house by the mountain giant. The history of Sasquatch sightings dates back decades, further popularized by encounters and plaster casts from 1958.
