Seeking Bigfoot and other stories on the Reservation While fishing off the rocks at Chief Joseph Dam this season, several fishermen told me their stories about Bigfoot. These stories have confirmed my recent experiences in the woods, which were strange and scary sights and sounds, like nothing I’ve ever seen or heard. I am compelled to gather and tell stories like this. I am asking you the Reader for your story. There are many out there. I have heard rumors of a local boy who was half-man, half-Bigfoot. I have heard tales of Hoof man, stick Indians, little people, not to mention ghosts and many other types of story. These UNICEL AD stories are real to people, especially a long time ago.

I am gathering stories from Colville tribal people, residents of the Colville Reservation, or others who have a story that happened on the Colville Reservation. When I receive enough stories, I would like to use this material to publish a book. This book is my personal endeavor into literature. I am working independently, except with the help of a few friends.

Please feel free to give me a call and we will discuss your story and answer your questions. My name is Darren Cawston. I am more than willing to come to your lawn or the Local Park and sit, listen, and talk with you. Thank you!
