Tribal Bigfoot - Book Review Review by Bobbie Short
www.bigfootencounters.com
June 23, 2009
I am into a new book titled 'Tribal Bigfoot' by Dave Paulides and Harvey Pratt.
I haven't quite finished it because I keep going back over previously read pages to more deeply absorb something NEW that I didn't know from their previous work, 'The Hoopa Project.' In fact, this reading has caused me to pick up the 'Hoopa Project' twice to reread and make visual comparisons with some of the images that have crossed my desk over a 24-year period of time. With only one exception, Harvey Pratt's images are a startling reminder of my own experiences, but also I see a consistency in his facial reconstructions that mirror many of the descriptions by my informants, especially details heretofore given little attention. It is an absolute thrill to finally see the human aspect in print. The book is definitely a positive foot forward for research.
Good grief what a fascinating read. If you think for one minute that there is nothing to be gained by reading their second book, think again; the ground these two men and the NABS team have covered certainly demonstrates exceptional investigative skills, an art form few in research have been trained in, least of all me, and certainly above and beyond those skills I�ve seen demonstrated by individuals schooled in the anthropological disciplines. Paulides's approach is new, he�s thorough, innovative and best of all he's objective; the man knows his craft. This read is exciting and it's been a long time coming.
Too much time and focus has been leveled in the quest for points found in track-ways and Sasquatch footprints that lends little to a significant push forward in research. This book, on the other hand, continues the author's move to place a wider focus on our Native American friends, their findings and what their oral historic teachings have brought to the table. How many times in this reading have I stopped and said to myself, 'the Native Americans and the First Nation Canadians I�ve interviewed have been (apparently) right all along; my God, the hours and dollars invested that have been wasted chasing deadends by the ape theorists!!' For the better part of 24 years I've stood alone in my assessment that what I have seen is human and how many times have I proclaimed that if a Sasquatch walked into my trauma unit, I would fully expect to give it all modern medicine allows, not veterinary medicine. We are not dealing with a dumb ape.
For me, these two books were a long time coming and I am absorbing Paulides's new material like a sponge. Pratt's ability to capture the fundamental nature of the forms their witnesses have given him in his images is breath-taking and often a cause for reflection. Paulides's investigative techniques I have not seen since Jim Hewkin, Jack Sullivan and Joel Hardin exited the Bigfoot arena; his ability for presenting his work in readable form is of course, an additional gift.
People, 'Tribal Bigfoot' is a brilliant work; I stand applauding this new release, which has literally knocked my socks off. It is just the breath of fresh air needed in research. The book is listed on www.amazon.com but is marked, 'out of stock.' I see Dave Hancock has this new release listed here: http://www.hancockhouse.com/products/tribig.htm
Let me encourage you to read this one!

Review: Bigfoot Quest 6-23-09
This was a pretty terrific show, with guest Jaime Avalos from California, who discussed his footprint research and findings, as well as some of the curious things he has found in some of the footprints he has found and casted, such as strange twisting and broken toes. Several folks called in, including myself, Tom Shirley and Bulletmaker (I asked about what sort of materials Jaime uses to cast his tracks, Tom was sort of comparing notes with Jaime, as was Bulletmaker. Dunno what Bob and Mike have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Bill Green's Review of Tribal Bigfoot
I just finished reading Tribal Bigfoot by David Paulides. This new book is AWESOME WONDERFUL A+++, definitely a great sequel to the Hoopa Project, full of historical & new & old sightings from California & elsewhere in the USA. The eyewitnesses' sketches are awesome, very detailed. This book is very mind blowing, exciting, it makes ya cry in a great way. Both David Paulides & Harvey Pratt did an awesome job on this new huge book about Bigfoot-Sasquatch. That's my book review.
Received Tribal Bigfoot Yesterday...
And have just now started to get into it. Of course, the full review will be posted here when I am finished, but check the next post for a review by Bill Green...
Book Review: Anatomy of a Beast: Obsession and Myth on the trail of Bigfoot by Michael McLeod
Fascinating, if flawed skeptical book
This book, written by a PBS documentary maker, takes an interesting tack on the skeptical side of the Bigfoot phenomenon-McLeod goes into the writing with the premise that Bigfoot is all either a hoax or misidentification or misinterpretation, and that the Patterson/Gimlin Film was a hoax due to Patterson being supposedly so obsessed with Bigfoot that he wanted the story to continue by faking a film. McLeod also gives a bit too much credit to Ray Wallace and his obviously hoaxed tracks and seems to think hoaxing of tracks and sightings goes back many years, even before Wallace. McLeod includes many interviews he conducted with several figures in the Bigfoot world, including Rene Dahinden, Peter Byrne, John Green, Bob Gimlin, Larry Lund and even Ray Wallace himself. He also talks to several rangers and other non-Bigfoot-related figures who are kind of on the periphery in that they have had strange sightings reported to them. McLeod concludes the book with a trip into the Bluff Creek drainage with a fellow named Jay who was there on the road-construction crew that Wallace ran. One interesting note (which may or may not be BS on Jay's part)-Jay claims that he never saw anyone camped in the Bluff Creek area around the time before or after the P/G Film was shot; he says that no one was there in 1967 from March to Thanksgiving, when he says he was there. Again, it is an interesting tidbit, but that does not make it true. I would give this book a 3 1/2 stars out of 5. It's a good read, no question about it. I do recommend it, even with reservations.
River Monster Tales Tahlequah Daily Press
Beginning with his own experience canoeing with "kith and kin" down the moonlit Illinois River near Tahlequah, OK, Jesse Neel relates tale after tale of experiences of the folks who live around the area where the creature they call "Soppy" roams. Given the descriptions listed in this account, does more than one Bigfoot roam the area around the Illinois River in Oklahoma? Neel's report continues here. Elsewhere, a new report from a respected mainstream science journal gets credit for the Cryptozoology Online headline New Paper on Fossils of 'Unknown Ape' in Asia Has Serious Implications for Cryptozoology. The full article, with much more detail, can be found in Russell L. Ciochon's essay, in the current edition of Nature, The Mystery Ape of Pleistocene Asia. Meanwhile, back at Cryptozoology Online, Jon Downes narrates the latest episode of the video production of On the Track (Of Unknown Animals).

Review: Sasquatch Watch Radio 6-22-09
Really GREAT show, with guests David Paulides and Harvey Pratt, discussing their research and forensic artwork on witness reports taken for the books The Hoopa Project and Tribal Bigfoot, as well as DNA reports which are included in the new book. Several folks called in, including Smiter, Tom Shirley, myself, Richie from California and other folks, who all asked some great questions. Next week, the guys have a show about equipment in the field, 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
In the Field, June 20, 2009 The Blogsquatcher
Three witnesses to what they believed was a Bigfoot crossing the face of a hill in Virginia lead to a trip to the woods for Sasquatch Watch of Virginia. With photos. Also, there's a note concerning an alleged encounter, reminiscent of the movie Predator, presented as Odd Tale of Bigfoot Emitting Heat Waves, and a programming reminder in Sasquatch Watch Radio: Guests Are Dave Paulides & Harvey Prat - June 22 - 9:00 PM. Paulides is the author of The Hoopa Project and Tribal Bigfoot, while Pratt is a forensic artist.

Review: University of California Press Podcast with Michael McLeod
This was quite an interesting and short podcast with author Michael McLeod (Anatomy of a Beast: Obsession and Myth on the Trail of Bigfoot) who discussed the impetus for the book, along with his disbelief in Bigfoot, as well as discussing some of the things in the book, such as the book being mainly about Roger Patterson and his possibly faking the P/G Film (which is his opinion only), as well as about certain researchers who have come up over the years in this field, more particularly some of the old-school researchers such as John Green, Rene Dahinden and Peter Byrne. The podcast can be found Here ( Listen to an interview with Michael McLeod, ) and is very interesting.
Review: Nite Callers 6-21-09/Sasquatch Watch Radio Tomorrow...
This was a pretty terrific show, a roundtable show, with the hosts just basically discussing all things 'Squatch, including Lauren's new segment Footers in the Field, as well as taking calls from myself, Mike Hall and Jordan Warner (when I was on, the main topics of discussion were some new books I received, as well as about the new book by David Paulides, Tribal Bigfoot and about the excellent work of Harvey Pratt the forensic artist. Dunno what they have planned for next week, but it begins at 7:00 EST/6:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

A group of friends in the Wrexham area of Wales in the United Kingdom set out to raise money for a baby care unit at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. They were successful, in more ways than one, as they spent the night at one of the reputedly most haunted buildings in the country. Here's a description of the events that occurred at Plas Teg. Meanwhile, at Haunted America Tours, Timothy Stokes covers a decidedly different aspect of ghost hunting and the paranormal in A Real Ghost Lives in My Mouth...How Do You Banish Haunted Bad Breath?

Skeptics: More Media Savvy? Paranormalia
A guest post by Matthew Colborn, who has a PhD in experimental psychology. Richard Wiseman's recent remote viewing study on Twitter with 7000 participants leads Colburn to ask: Why is it that skeptics in the UK at least seem to have a far higher profile in the pop science literature than academic parapsychologists? He thinks that academic parapsychologists are absolutely lousy at self-promotion, especially when compared to those in the skeptical camp, who are far more articulate and media friendly.

We own a farm of 78 acres, and there are no creatures anywhere in this area that Janice Carter claims. Never have been."

Could the Orangutan Be Our Closest Relative? New Scientist
It is accepted without question that the closest relatives to humans are two chimpanzee species - the common chimp and the bonobo. But two scientists publishing in the Journal of Biogeography this week argue that the DNA evidence for that conclusion is flawed and that, based on traditional taxonomy, orangutans are clearly closer to us than chimps. Their paper leads to an Editorial in the magazine entitled In praise of scientific heresy, which states in part: "Ideas that mainstream opinion 'knows' to be wrong occasionally turn out to be right. The insights of Galileo, Stan Prusiner - who discovered prions - and many others were once denounced as heresy." Ironically, the same issue, carries AIDS denial: A lethal delusion, with a cheap shot about Professor Henry Bauer being a leading authority on the existence of the Loch Ness monster without saying a word about the findings of his HIV/AIDS work.
