Guardian of the Land

Indigenous peoples of the Nch'i-Wána, or Columbia River, know Bigfoot not as a monster but as a protector—a spiritual being that teaches one to respect, revere and enter into relationship with the land. Featuring the lived experiences of world champion jingle dancer Acosia Red Elk, artist Toma Villa, tribal council member Carlos Calica and anthropologist Phil Cash Cash.
