Summary: To the Seminole, he's "Esti Capcaki" or the "Tall Man." The Lakota know him as "Chiye Tanka" - "Big Elder Brother." Yet he's "Tso Apittse" or the "Giant Cannibal" to the Shoshone and the "Evil God of the Woods" (Skookum) in Chinook Indian lore.Native American legends paint Bigfoot as both a friend and a foe, from a benign, mystical "Spirit Hidden by the Woods" to a bringer of "Bad Luck" and "Disaster."
