Stealing Acorn Meal from Yokut’s First Nation Woman [Bigfoot Legends & Stories]

The Legend of Bigfoot told and passed down by First Nation Indians; vary from tribe to tribe in North America. Another interesting story told by the First Nation Yokut’s tribe, tells of how Bigfoots learned exactly when to steal certain types of foods from the tribe. The Yokut’s tribes are Native Americans whose reservation is found in central California. Prior to the conquest by Europeans in North America, the Yokut’s lived in large numbers and had up to 60 separate tribes speaking one language-- “Yokuts" in their language means "People”. The tribe has divided in modern times into 3 groups: The Foothill Yokuts, Northern Valley Yokuts and Southern Valley Yokuts.

The particular story tells the lessons learned and passed down through generations by the woman of the tribe. It details on what to do when grinding acorns on the rocks near the river. Below is an excerpt of the story which describes a possible behavior of Bigfoot and its interactions with the Yokuts’ tribe women. The story was taken from the Kathy Moskowitz' presentation at the International Bigfoot Symposium, September 12-14, 2003, in Willow Creek, California.

FOOD STEALING

In the old days, women learned never to leave their acorn meal unattended. They would spend all day pounding on the big rocks near the river, making the acorn meal, and then take it down to the river to leech it. They would then leave it in the sun to dry, but they would come back and it would be gone. They would find big footprints in the sand where they left the meal and they would know that Hairy Man took it. He likes Indian food and knows to wait until the acorn is leeched of its bitterness before taking it. We always wondered if he liked the sound of women pounding acorn and knew when to come and get food.

Interesting enough, the story shows that Bigfoot, at certain times, would risk interacting with humans to gain access to free food. Also it seems the creature even understood that Yokut woman had to do certain things to the acorns before they could be more pleasing to the taste. I have been told that certain First Nation tribes, during harsh winter month, place food in the outer limits of their reservations to keep out hungry Bigfoots. They do this so the Bigfoots who have a hard time finding food during the long winters will not come into their villages and break into their homes and steal food.

Could this placement of food also be a tradition passed down from generations? In another story, it even describes that Bigfoots would take sick children and later after healing them returned back to the tribe. Could it be that the placement of food in the harsh winter months is more of a defense to stop Bigfoot from cannibalizing on the tribes people?

One thing for sure, in many cases, stories and legends can have some truth to them. Yet, in Bigfoots case, the possibilities of these stories being true are questioned by those who do not understand how connected the First Nation tribes are, but to the natives, they believe without a doubt that Bigfoot is real.

  3. Classic Damian and why he's so boring on the podcast ---

    "I have been told that certain First Nation tribes, during harsh winter month, place food in the outer limits of their reservations to keep out hungry Bigfoots..."


    Screwed up grammar and always the "There are stories", "It's been said", "There was a report", "I once read of..." Blah blah blah endless babble. He never backs these up with a reference.

    1. But..but..."They" are always right!

      Agree with you... no reference, you might as well not bother telling "the story". What is read is different to what was said which is different to what was seen which is different to what happened etc etc. Third hand, or worse, hearsay evidence is basically as useless as a hip pocket in a singlet.

    2. You guys need to read more and do some research on American Indian's stories of Bigfoot, many stories have been passed down in the tribes.I am a First Nation Indian from California and Damian is correct at least about the story of the acorn, not familiar with the other one. Plus he did all the work for you two uneducated idiots who like to babble and make insults. Usually from my experience you anons are the kind of people which are quick to make insults.

    3. J.L. I do not know about the acorn story, but here in Canada i heard a story about sick children being taken and returned healthy to the tribe. Two aboriginal Indians told the story to my kids, they showed such sweet kindness to my kids and I have total respect for First Nation Tribes in Canada. Nice work to Damian the author in bringing such a nice story to the BF community. For the two anons, shame on you for been so disrespectful.

    4. What is 'disrespectful' about expecting Damian, who calls himself a reporter, to cite the sources of his information?

      This has nothing to do with the content, as you're trying to make it. WHO told him this story? WHAT 'certain tribes' put out food?

  4. Probably stole the meal to make pancakes.

  5. The First Nation Tribe has recently captured a Bigfoot during an attempted theft of acorn meal. The BF in question, however, sustained life threatening injuries during the apprehension and is currently being treated in a nearby garage. There will be a press conference tomorrow at 3pm EST to provide the world with this groundbreaking scientific discovery.

    1. Footprints my dear Watson! Native Americans know bear tracks from Sasquatch tracks.

  7. Because bears would have to lick it up as it is cornmeal and there would be proof of that MamaBear. I don't think that the leaving the food out on the outskirts of camps and villages was so much to stop cannibalism as it was to stop the raiding for food and tearing things up looking. At least that is the impression that I got from the stories that I was told as a child.

  8. Really enjoyed your article Damian, don't let the trolls bother you. They always have something to complain about. Probally lonely, setting at home trying to figure out why their spouse left them. Their spouse didn't put up with their constant whining and cry. Unfortunately, we have to read their BS.

    1. Most of the attacks on Damien come from rival "research" groups, you might add.

  9. .."to stop Bigfoot from cannibalizing on the tribes people?"...

    That doesn't make sense Damian. In the previous sentence you wrote that (according to legend) Bigfoot would heal sick children and returned them to the tribe.

    Why suddenly introduce cannibalism?

    As far as i understand, not all sasquatch were peaceful. Some of them kidnapped native women, ate native children.

    By the way, it's not fair to accuse all Americans, but it's obvious that American society consists of so many ignorant, arrogant whites (who have an average or low IQ in my opinion). All they do is to ignore and insult the native peoples and their lore.

    1. You don't seem to realize that the anonymous attacks on Damien are from other so-called "names" in the field. Almost everyone else, whatever their beliefs, discuss or ridicule or troll the material.

    2. Yeah, believe that if it makes you feel better, DB. The FACTS are that you're a lousy writer, lousy speaker, you plagiarize others' work, and accuse others of hoaxing with NO proof whatsoever.
