Just finished Max Brooks& #39; bigfoot book & #39;Devolution& #39;. Brooks wrote World War Z - this is a little similar in that it& #39;s a collection of first hand accounts. First off, I loved it, and think you need to get it. I& #39;m not big on & #39;appropriation& #39; talk BUT https://www.amazon.ca/Devolution-Firsthand-Account-Sasquatch-Massacre/dp/1984826786">https://www.amazon.ca/Devolutio...

BUT when it does come to appropriation talk, I put the concept of bigfoot in that category. I mean, I& #39;ve done it in print - it& #39;s my favourite example. But I think this more or less gets it right. https://thewalrus.ca/on-cultural-appropriation-canadians-are-hypocrites/">https://thewalrus.ca/on-cultur...

I& #39;m kind of big on the concept of bigfoot, as I& #39;ve noted elsewhere, The place where I write, is next to a mask of Dzunukwa - who is the female bigfoot, mother of mosquitos. Bigfoot, or rather Sasquatch is one of the few words from our language that is known in English.

I& #39;m building my house in the home territory of bigfoot - next to the forest that separates Kwantlen territory from Sts& #39;Ailes territory. This is the symbol of Sts& #39;Ailes FYI:

I started listening to it with a cringe, worrying about it being lame & appropriatey, but I was impressed. I don& #39;t want to get too much into details because it& #39;s a good book, but if you& #39;re issues about it-as the only person that cares about appropriation & this issue, it& #39;s fine.

I can& #39;t wait till they make it into a movie, that somehow ends up being all about Ogopogo and doesn& #39;t mention bigfoot himself even once.
