The animal was real, and so was the Myth for the Okapi
You said the myths were either made up or real.
The animal was real, and so was the Myth for the Okapi
This is getting monotonous.The Okapi was dismissed as a myth by westerners, until one was found after a long search
So very credible people, such as Longtabber, are pretending to see bigfoot?
Most Natives would tell you that Bigfoot is very real, as real as the killer whale, which has super powers
Not to derail this thread, but does anyone know how Biscardi originally wormed his way into the bigfoot world?
"And we're going find him," says stocky, black-haired Tom Biscardi, grimacing as he rubbed his still-swollen ankles. We are back in his luxurious San Jose, Calif., apartment, waiting for the latest word on any sightings from Ivan Marx and the other six members of the Alaskan expedition. "I'm the drum beater," Biscardi says. "Hell, somebody's got to do it. I've sunk so much money in this thing now--so has Gene -- that I have bad dreams at night. There's this huge bill collector dressed up in a Bigfoot suit..."
Wrong. I'm Native American, and I'll tell you that Bigfoot is a myth based on folklore that has no proven basis in reality. As would my family members, our Native friends, and our tribal elders.
It's because we live in the real world. Not under a bridge.
ETA: Please don't continue to misrepresent what "most" Native Americans believe.
Bigfoot is a myth, legend, tradition, etc.
Making up a story that you saw one, or hoaxing evidence, isn't the wrong thing to do. It's the right thing to do. Isn't that what myths, legends and traditions are all about?
Some Natives think otherwise
No, that is trying to dupe and scam people. People who do that should have a consequence
Sounds to me like the okapi was found relatively quickly.
Actually, I know quite a boatload of information on bigfootry.
How long?
A small fraction of the time people have been looking for bigfoot.
People have been looking for bigfoot for quite a while, but not seriously and thoroughly.
