Our Bigfoot Society. Have got the privilege of talking to Bear today. Bear is an individual that has had many years interaction with the Harry people, but I'm going to let him go ahead and introduce him himself.

1:34 So how are we doing today, Bear? Oh? Doing great, Jeremiah, thank you for asking. Me, absolutely so feel free to share with the listeners what we should know about you, Bear, and then we will get right into it after that. Okay, excellent. Well, I consider myself because they've adorned me one time in particular, and I've been introduced to them up at Tully River. It's it's a reservation up here above Quortaville, and my first encounter with them was during another ceremony that I really was intrigued by the Harry people since I was little, but I never really knew of them. It wasn't up until I went camping. It was about one or two in the morning. I got to really late because there was going to be an elders gathering up a chilly river. It was up in camp, so Lolo and Si Loolo means white mountains, Shilolo means white.

2:34 Of course, it was Shiloo Mountain campground we went to. So I set up tent early in the morning, and I didn't know I didn't realize that I set up tent right there on on the road because of course it's it's all dirt road, and I was so in a hurry to get myself camped up and set up, so just trying to get me some resk because I was a little exhausted. It wasn't until maybe an hour when I was getting my rapid eye movement and feel a little comfortable there I was literally grabbed from my shoulders and I was trying my best to see what it was that was grabbing my shoulders, and every time I looked over to the right to look behind me, I was literally pushed by the hand that was holding onto me on my shoulders. And I looked to the left again to try to see if I could get to get away with looking off to the left of me behind me, and then I was again hid the side of my head. By then I got the idea that the hairy people did the hairy man that was literally kind of handling me literally didn't want me to see his face. I was pushed up. I was literally being pushed and pulled forward on this path that would call the tu Ley Road to get up to Shilolo.

3:46 Because I was ready there at the campsite already. Well, they pushed me up a little bit further and further. A big tree. It was. It was a sugar pine, because sugar pines out there are very obvious because they have such big branches and there's so much separation between the branches and the and the foliage. But in between all those branches, I had seen hanging body parts. I seen foots, feet, I've seen hands, I've seen legs and arms and torsos, but I didn't see one head of a human being. But I knew they were obviously there were obviously human parts. So mentally the mental telepathy that the hairy Man, and that's probably why they call him the quiet Ones, he literally spoke with me and told me if I decided to do evil or be wronged or wrong in any way to the mountains or to their people, and I'm obviously going to be in a you know, the same predicament that these people were placed in well, I've kind of like I was kind of shaking there a little bit, and I was very nervous about it, because obviously I was thinking to myself, well, I'm not I'm not an evil person, so whatever intentions you guys have to show me these things, I was.

5:09 I was very intimidated by then. Of course, I was that much more feared in my heart, and my heart was racing, and I was very uncomfortable. But with a soft voice, I felt a voice of comforting to it's not fear what they had showed me. But then yet they're still trying to give me a little excited I guess, I don't know, a little bit intimidated, we'll say intimidated that of course, that their business was to literally wipe out evil you know, and evil people that are doing evil things there up in the mountains like that. So that was obvious that I was taste at that level, and I was kind of like, Okay, well, I'm not going to be evil. I'm i gonna do anything wrong.

5:50 I know my future or what already have shared with me. They told me, hey, as long as you keep doing what you're doing, we'll be okay with you. But we're going to show you around, because there was other ones there kind of hiding in the bushes and watching me, but it was the biggest one of them all that was kept leading me through like this. Well, later on that evening or later on earlier that morning, they walked me back to my camp, the campsite and put me back into my camp, my little tent, that little pop up tent I had. But I woke up later on that in the morning and looked at the path that I was on. I'm like, wait a minute, I'm parked and tended right there on the middle of the road.

6:33 So I knew then I had to get off that road because obviously that was also a path for the hairy people as well. So after I went to the ceremony, I didn't want to share anything out loud to anybody because I was kind of feeling like maybe the other natives are going to look at me really really crazy, like you know, and I didn't want to mention it because I was very intimidated that whenever they shared with me, it was only between me. And then I said, okay, we'll go ahead and do that. Go I keep to myself and mentioned that we did sweat lodge and ceremonies. There's dancers there. We had lodge we do here in California, And of course I participated in all these chopped wood and I helped out the elders, and of course I was very comfortable in there to the fact. But it was only until a month or two after that I was introduced to Jenny Franco. She was the medicine woman we'll call her spiritual leader, female spiritual leader up in Tully, and we started attending her sweat lodge, her ceremonies there at her place. And one day Mime a few other friends were talking and gathered around each other and we're speaking about the hairy man we kept on came Bigfoot, and we're seeing it out loud, the Bigfoot, the big foots the Bigfoot. By surprise, her overheard our conversation and she literally kind of smoke out loud, don't you ever calm that b word? And we all looked at each other.

7:57 You're talking about big foot. She don't say that word again, and I'm like, okay, we'll scratch in my head like okay, well, Grandma Jenny, what should we call them? She goes, you can call them Sasquatch. You call them the Red Eye and call them the quiet ones. You can call them the hairy people or the hairy Man. And so by then I was like, Okay, well I need to be a little bit more respectful because obviously she's one of my teachers. I need to learn this from my elders, the things that I've been wanting to learn, because obviously I was still very young. Give her take out. Think I was like only twenty five no, no, sae like maybe twenty one years old. Between twenty twenty one and right now, I'm fifty nine years old, so this was thirty plus years ago, and so she sat down with us.

8:43 She told this, Well, this is what the Red Eye are all about. The Hairy people are all about. If you're evil and you do wrong, they've been known to come out and get you and literally cut you to pieces and decapitate you, and they'll hold your your body parts and they'll smoke them, they'll cure them, and they'll eat you, and they'll consume the whole entire body of the human that's evil, that are wrongdoers. I'm like, oh wow, this is amazing. You know, she's telling me the things that the Hairy people were telling me months prior to her sharing this with me. She called them the quiet ones because they will be very very quiet and still, and they'll creep up on you and you don't even know that they're there, but they're there that much closer than you even know. And at night, if you're out there late at night without a flashlight or you don't have proper source of being able to see during the dark, you'll be able to see them red eyes, you know, just glaring at you. And of course she's mentioning all these things, why they call them the hairy people, and why they call them the quiet ones, and why they call them the red eye. By then, I still didn't want to share it out loud because they kept thinking about maybe this is kind of crazy, you know, maybe I shouldn't share this with Grandma Jenny Franco that this is obviously whatever it is is Sho was sharing with me months later, was exactly what the Hairy people, which Sasquatch was literally sharing with me a ready. So she was referring to all the information and kind of backing up the story of what the Harry people were showing

10:14 me at that moment and Of course, months later I no longer call him the Vieword, and I tell people please don't use that vieword, and I also throw it on the internet, don't use that vword. And they're like, well, why not, we can call a big fight. I'm like, no, it's very derogatory, and the hairy people don't like that. It's also ignorance on our part that we really don't know them by the Hairy people. These things that I started sharing out loud, I started realizing that the Harry people would literally shared him with me a ready in many years to come, I've actually started running into more elders up in Tully and I was mentioning the Eddie the Harry people, and I had one elder. His name was Leonard Manuel and he was the grand the father to take your Emmanuel, which was my teacher. He helped me during my vision quest up here in Yusemite when I was about twenty three twenty four years old. Years later, I decided and I talked to Raymond Stone. He was our medicine, medicine man or a spiritual leader. He's Raymondstone, Eagle, full blooded piout from Lompine. He literally took me under his wing, and he started teaching me the bear medicine, bear spirit, bear medicine. But it was like years after I had met the Sasquatch and the hairy people, that I was having these dreams, ongoing dreams, and I almost seemed like they're almost night mirarish because I kept getting chased every night by these black bears. Oh there's a few other different colored bears that were there also, but one in particular was a black one and it always

11:46 chased nep a tree. And I'll be up there on top of this tree all night long, you know, and the bears will be biting me, nipping me on my heine or nipping at my heels. Never try to hurt me, but they always drew my attention all the time. So these these these encounters that I was having with these the bear people we call them, you know, the bears, the black bear here in this area in California. It happened and ongoing at least three or four nights a week up until I were at it to Raymond Stone and I told him, Grandpa, I need to talk to you about something I'm having problems with. Well, go ahead, young man, go ahead, tell me what is it. He used to call me the young part, and he called himself the old part. So there is some similarities between me and him that were very spiritually strong, which I didn't have any idea then until now. And he told me, and he started laughing at me, and I'm like, well, Grandpa, that's not funny. I'm having these ongoing dreams, even with Sasquatch and these black bears. He goes. He finally got a little serious, say well, Grandpa, please tell me you know what's going on here? He goes, well, first of all, if you've got encounters with the Harry people and also with especially with the bears, it's because they love you.

12:56 I well, Grandpa, they loved me. Why would they, you know, keep me up all night? Why they keep chasing me around in my dreams? Or there's nights that are just unrested. I wake up, you know, sweating or not knowing what's going on here? He goes, You know, I'll tell you what. I'll be honest with you, he goes, Because they love you. I'm like, well, is that true love? He goes, No, they want you to be a part of them. They see something good in you. They want you to be they want to be in you, around you, they want to be all around you. They want you to be like them, and eventually you're gonna end up understanding more about it when the time comes. So I go, well, Grandpa, how do I stop He goes, I'll show you how to stop it, because every night you go to bed, get some tobacco offerings, make your tobacco offerings and tell the Great Spirit or having father Creed or tell him, you know, can you slow down a little bit and help me sleep at night? I still even my arrest, and after that it started kind of winding down a little bit. Eventually I started to seeing myself running around in my force also my dreams, where the bears were literally running side to side with me, and I was no longer being chased by them, but just being one with them. It kind of reminds me of American werewolf in London, even the wolf man of the werewolf man that were seen himself running on his forest and catch himself in the seo somewhere. But of course I didn't find myself like that. I'd usually find myself in the middle of the woods or out in the middle of a field somewhere out here in the Sammaki Valley somewhere, and people would be pointing at me, look at the bear, look at the bear, and I'm like, I'm out of bear, And I look at myself. Who torn I am a bear.

14:26 It wasn't a bit till like just recently before Leonard Manuel passed away that we spoke about the harry Man again. And he was an older. Of course, he was getting ripe in his age. He didn't have that much time to left. But I shared some stories with them, and he goes, you know what you gotta do. I'll go, what, Leonard, what should I do? He goes, leave them alone. You shouldn't be messing with the hairy people up there in the mountains. You know, we know exactly what you're talking about. You need to leave them alone. Big for society, who would be right back after these messages.

15:10 I looked at him very seriously and I'm like, well, Lenard, I think you know, honestly, I think you need to tell them to leave me alone. What are you talking about? You don't know what you're talking about. I go, well, let me with you again, Leonard. Let's get a chance to meet up and have lunch with each other next week, and I'll show you some of my car beings, some of my drawings, and some of the things that they've left for me to share with others. So the week later we met up in Tuley and we met at some little restaurant up there and a little dining place up there, and I showed my drawings. I showed him my car beings, and he looked at me and he stared, and in some very soft voice, he looked at me and he goes, you're right. He goes, they don't leave you alone, do they? You do know them? I go, well, Leonard, not that I want to be disrespectful. I know that which you have and how the elders are here, And truly we're supposed to keep our distance from them. And I get it because obviously they're very aggressive, and the stories that go behind them they're very they could be very dangerous. But yet I've found myself to be like family to them, like I'm their best friend. They trust me, They've en trusted me to show others and to give other people better understanding other family qualities. And of course, dream after dream and other visions I've had. I've seen them literally get me closer to my children, closer to my family, and closer to myself, especially to myself, and start understanding more about the creatures up in the forest

16:43 and be more accepting of who we are as as spiritual leaders. I heard a lot of the elders speak out loud on some of the things that I thought were mysterious or sometimes questionable. I don't know, Grandpa, that sounds kind of crazy. I don't know if I could believe that stuff. But eventually, with I'm being spent up in the red Woods and other campsites that I spent at over there in Nusemite and up in the red Woods up in Balks Park, I start realizing they're there, and they're there with us, and I've been given the privilege to be able to feel comfortable up there with them. I've smelled their smell before, even as far as Tucson. I've heard their howling, and it's very nerve wracking sometimes when you hear them, but I'm familiar with it, so it's not as fearful or intimidating as it would be for somebody else that doesn't understand them. And I've smelled their smell before Tucson Balts Park, and I've heard their howling over there in Yusemite, and I've had everybody looking at me and all scared. Do you hear that? Do you hear that? I'm like, yes, did you hear that?

17:44 I've heard that. I've been It kind of woke me up. And they're looking at me over their bug eyed and I'm just calm, I go wal. I've shared it with other elders as well. This is their land, this is their territory. So they're just giving us a call, a little holler, let us know that this is our land, and we need to be more respectful, not only to the land, but respectful to each other, because I've felt that many times I felt like I was an outsider. I was outside looking in. We're in reality? What Grandpa Jay Johnson and even Bill Tecker they come up to me a few times and tell me, because Usemity is my first vision quest, this land is as much yours as it is ours, and it's as much yours as it is ours because you've done your vision quest up here in Yuseymbode. So this is your stomping ground, this is your land. Because you earn this, you sacrifice, you surrendered yourself to this land. And this is where the vision quest comes in at And I think a lot of people have a misunderstanding of us Native Americans and when they speak us vision quest or the fasting thing that we do up there in the mountains, but they literally think are stereotyped the fact that we're just thrown up there and we're lift out, you know, to the pack of wolves. No, these fasting lodges are very very important, very sincere. We take care of each other. Every morning we wake up. They would open up the door, ask you about your vision? How do you feel? They asked about your health. Yes. After the third day, I think I was crying already. By the third night, I was

19:15 crying and I thought I was gonna die. But I asked one of the elders there to sing a song for me, and he sang a red toal hot song for me, because I literally requested it. I go, Harold, can he sing the red to hot song for me? After the fourth day, I was able to make it. I told me it's okay, I'll be fine. Because they asked me if I wanted water, I said, now, they asked me if I want to go down I said no, and they go, okay, well, what do you want. Well, Harold's singing a song for me, especially that red t hawk song he sang for me, And after that I was able to endure it and then passed through with another another night, another day of literally torture, no food, no water up in the mountains up and count forest up there in nuseimity. And these are the venues of that what makes us who we are as Native American people.

20:00 But the hairy people they've been watching us, and they commune with us. They appreciate the fact that we're trying to be stuarts of the land like they are caretakers of the forest. The endeavors of tending to family and yourself is encouraged by the hairy people. And I've had situations with my family and the hairy people come in to me my visions and tell me, don't worry about it. Bear, We're here with you. We're part of your family. You're a part of our family, so we'll watch over you, will protect you, so no matter where you're at. I've been shared with them that I'll be protected. Of course, it goes back to the venue who we are as spiritual people, spiritual leaders that we are, we are going to be cared for by our creator, people know them as God Jehovah, great Spirit. But again, these creatures that are heavy Fathers created, such as the little people, the hairy man, the sasquatch, these are protectors of the land.

20:56 But also when you get to the point of spiritual awakening, spiritual comfort, because it's not too comfortable at first to get to this level. But now I'm an elder, I'm considered a spiritual leader now and a spiritual healer. I do run a sweat lodge, and I do know that sometimes when I get myself into a situation like I did the other day here at this new job I had, this new job I've been given, I asked my heavy Father, asked the creator if I can get permission from him to get the hairy people to help me. So I sang a song, and I did a prayer and made some offerings, and within less than twelve hours, the whole entire issue I had with this other coworker was literally resolved.

21:39 Even before I got to that point to be able to speak to one of the supervisors. And one of the supervisors came up to me and he's apache. He looked at me and goes, Barty, don't worry about it. I heard what happened the night before last, and I'm going to take care of it. I took care of it already, but after I get my offerings, and I share this with Kevin one spot up in Washington, shared the hairy people with each other, and I told I told Kevin, I go, Kevin, your great grandfather was a medicine man and he held a grizzly bear and he's medicine was grizzly bear. Who did you get that from? Beart? You know? And we're talking to on the phone each other. On the phone, he's up in Washington. I'm over here in California. I go listen. The Sasquatch you encountered when you're a little boy, there's still around you over there in your area. And he goes, I know, I know they are, and I'm not as intimidated as I used to be when I was little. Uncle, You're correct. I go to Harry. People are just whispering my ear right now.

22:31 Tell me about your great grandpa being the medicine man that he is. Who'se You got to be kidding? Bear, I go, no, I'm not kidding. So the other day I literally text him on Facebook and messaged him and told him how I did this podcast prior to yours. At this point, I told him, you know, after I gave this a spokesperson that I am for the hairy people, I'm a stewart also to their clan, because there's many clans all throughout the United States, Canada, even as far as Mexico. This protection of me being able to share this out loud to the general population. Now I've gotten this really strong protection over me because this is exactly what's Sasquatch wanted from me. This is what they need from me. They needed for me to tell the general population this is who they are and to represent them.

23:15 Where I'm at right now, to even share this right now, at this level with you, Jeremiah, it's very special. These are things to be able to get over the stereotyping, get over the endeavors of intimidation and fear. Of course, I know that people that go out there and look for them with these cameras and recorders, more likely they're not gonna be shown. They're not gonna show themselves. It's the people that go up there for wrong reasons or they have something evil in their heart. They're so scared and so intimidated they don't even go back up their honeymore. But there's some that go out there and camp out there. They've been encountered by them, and they don't even want to go up camp up there anymore. That's when you know whatever that person was doing wrongly, or maybe there's something that wasn't right with them. My Hairy People, my Hairy family, the Harry Clan, the Hairy People Clan literally want to scare them off and not get him back up there again. Unless you're a spiritual leader and you can go out there and pray and fast and do what you need to do with the land to take care of the creatures like they're doing likewise, then you know, maybe there'll be that much more accepting to you and they won't intimidate you like they've done to many people.

24:23 Apparently there's like twenty three thousand people missing right now, and I've heard the stats going up a little bit higher. But me and Kevin has spoke about it, and he told me the same. Likewise, he had some problems with some family members. He prayed over it, went outside, made his offerings and told the hairy people out loud and prayer up in Washington, because I need some protection. These people are really doing me wrong, even my own family members. Within a month or two or even just days after something is literally moved around and something was changed, and after that they're intimidated or they were put in check. We'll say and correct it for that reason. And now my brother Kevin goes, that's awesome, dude, you're so right.

25:05 I'm getting protection just like you are because you taught me right. You told me this is what I need to do with the hairy people. I go, oll, Kevin, I go. We're both Native Americans. We need to share this information with each other like we should do thousands and thousands of years ago. There's only just a few chosen ones at this point in our lives that are able to communicate with them. But they are also just a few of us that they're willing to communicate with and share with these cities, endeavors and these teachings. But what I like to do today, like I've done with others, is share a song and it's a prayer song, and I'll be able to give you an interpretation of what the song means. But I'm gonna go ahead and share this out loud with you guys today, but I'm an ask your Grandpa Creator for your your health, your assistance.

25:51 But first of all, before it gets started, I'm gonna get some white sage smudge myself down, because I'm gonna make sure that all that we do here is to be done in a good way. That we're not in any way trying to intimidate anybody, nor oversee anybody, or tell everybody what they should be doing, what they don't want to do, what they should do. But we're not pesbeterarians. We're not here to make people change. I'm here just to share that what it is that the hairy people have been wanting me to share with everybody, that this is a klan of family. They've been created way before we were created as human beings, and they were given the responsibility to take care of the things that obviously, as human beings, were supposed to take care of a long time ago, but we forgot. And it's really sad that we've seen the land and the devastation by corporate for the wood and the product of wood everywhere throughout the whole entire world right now, Mother Earth and sacred Grandma to Earth, a sacred Mother Earth and sacred Grandma of the ocean, and all the innocent creatures are literally being pushed further and further away and wiped off the face of the earth. And these are things that the hairy people and not spiritual leaders are trying to do our best to tell people. Try to be more respectful, because one day they're not gonna be here anymore with us, even our little puppies, even though look furry families that we have so to protect them, to love them and conditionally, but also to protect yourself and love your family and conditionally, it's probably much more important as well. And maybe after you start learning how to do that, they don't come

27:22 out that much better for everybody in the general population. Oh, Grandfather Peter plus us, this prayer song is a good way, and I'll be able to interpret the song and I share with you that what's been shared to leave by my others and albums before them and others prior to them, as welcome business songs experiences. Way yeah. Yeah, yeah, y'all, yeah. Yeah yeah. Yeah h yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

28:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The one your coach that's on my relations. When I think the money your coach, I'm saying all my relations and all my relations in reference to all the animals and our relations. We speak of that because we speak of all our relations, and we have respect for every creature and every living thing that's here with us. So these are things that are very important for us to recognize. Now, this prayer song was shared to me by one of the elders in our sweat lotch and our motion or ceremony or secret ceremony, and she said this song was interpreted to her. At one time, there was a young lady that literally was being put in check, or we'll say the western civilization was coming in, and some squatters came in and literally wiped her entire family out. She ran and hit somewhere where they weren't able to find her.

29:33 But by the time that everything was done, and all her family members, her mother, father, and all the brothers and sisters and the elders were literally just massacred. When she went back to the village and seeing all this, she was devastated, and she felt so lone, and she cried and wept for days didn't eat anything, to drink anything, and all this time the harry people were watching all this stuff was going on. Our hairy family came up to to her. After three or four days of no food, no water, and her tearing and crying and just so upset about what had happened to her and her family, the hairy people came up to her and want to particular, grabbed her by the hand and told her in her language, don't worry. All this had happened right now, we've seen all this from Afar.

30:21 Bigs a societyho will be right back after these messages. We wanted to stop it from happening, but it happened so fast. We knew you hid yourself, and we knew that you know you're gonna be safe. You're gonna be okay, grab my hand and this chance, and let's pray because you always have us as your family. And so this song right here that we sang was a song of pins and you're never gonna be alone and always protect you and always be there for you. So they danced and he kept on saying yeah yeah, he yeah, yeah, hey yeah he yeah yeah yeah. So this was a very very I opened experience. For this young lady, and from that day forward, she was literally being protected by the hairy people. They fed her, they clothed her, they protected her. And these are stories and I was told many times by other medicine people as well, especially by Anderson up in the Novel reservation. He had me in the sweat lodge and it's dark in there, and it

31:51 gets really moist because we tole water on the rocks, and it gets pretty hot in there. He looks at me, and I could tell he was kind of like staring at me. It's really dark in there, and something was going on there because he paused. He goes, turn it out, whatever you're smoking. I'm like, well, Anderson, I'm not smoking anything. Well, whatever did you're doing? Turn it out? And I'm like, okay, Well, I don't know what he's talking about. So he kept on chanting and singing his song or prayer song, speaking of all the creatures, and every creature had something to do with building the sweatlaw job. So he went on and on and on about it. I think we went to the first round. That song was very long. When we did, it was getting kind of warm in there, and he goes, okay, let's go ahead and take a break. He said, his navajo chant and his navajo song and traditional things that he was talking about. We took a break.

32:38 I opened up the door for him. We got out. We took a break. He goes, you know, Bear, Helper, Bear Helper. I thought you're smoking something in there, So isn't that strange? I go, why would I want to be smoking something? I thought you knew that you can't smoke anything in here. He goes, You're right, I go, well, why do you mention this to me? Because I'm like, because, well, I really thought you were smoking something in here, or you had a cigarette or something in front of your face. Because I've seen a little light in front of your face. I'm like, all right, He goes, but I looked back at you and the light got bigger. Okay, he goes, he got bigger, and it got bigger. And then when I look back at you again, I seen a big bear.

33:21 I go, wow, Anderson, did I tell you my name is Bear? I go, I started laughing, of course, Adam. He got really upset. He goes, well, I seen this big bear, and then I seen the light that was in front of your face. It literally appeared to be the bear that you are, and that light was who you are right, that this is the light of the bear, the bear of the light. You are a bear, And I'm like, well, here touch me. I goes, I am a bear. Remember you call me bear helper. If he didn't want to touch me, he goes, you know, I'm gonna tell you something, Bear Helper. My grandpa told me about you people. He told me about you guys because I thought it was a man. I thought this a made of story. And in assimilation to that, when we talk about the hair people, they think it's a myth or just a made of story. So in correlation to that what he had told me, my grandpa shared all the stuff that you guys are all about, and I go, well, they tell you about Well, he didn't want to share that much detail because I already knew a ready in some ways as bare people are a little bit above and beyond the average of any medicine people or any spiritual leaders. He goes, yeah, my grandpa shared these stories about me, about you guys, and I thought it was a story. I thought it was a myth. And then when I met you, I said, this guy's bear helper. Yeah, okay, whatever.

34:38 But when I seen you in the sweat lodge and then I see you as a bear, then I realized that it's true, isn't it. I'm going, yes, it is, and I laughed again. He got upset again, and he goes, what's so funny? I go, well, there's still a few of us here in California. If you want to come out here to the bear ceremony, I'll introduce you to a couple of a couple of other of us bear people. And of course he didn't want anything to do with it, but they do have a Navajo zoo out there and window rock and they have a big plaque in front of the two bears that they have caged up in there, and there two black bears, and the plaque spoke of us, how strong we are, how close we are to the spiritual world, how we're also able to shift change. But yet they could be a good one or a bad one, depending on what type of medicine you're working with. And I think that's what the Harry people are trying to tell me. Yes, we know you're a bear ready, but yet you'd better be a good bear, not a bad bear.

35:35 And I'm like, okay, well I'm gonna keep it good. Then let's keep it good. So since then I used to go over to his office all the time and always come out and knock on his door and sit on his couch. You go to be better to do, bear, bear helper, I go, no go. I thought me about sit down here and shoot the breeze with you, But every time I see him after that, he was very uncomfortable around me. So okay, understand, I'll find something to do. Then, you know, I'll go out there to woods to cut some wood, and I keep myself busy so you don't feel so intimidated by me hanging out here. But these are things that us Native American people have always been about for thousands and thousands of years. But we our endeavors so that who we are in the sweat lodge.

36:17 We have four rounds. The first round is for yourself. You pray to our heavy Father, creator, great Spirit. We know him here in this area is Tripney, but we also know as Jesus Christ, the Starchild. His name is Juani. He walked the land here the hope. He's called him the lost of white Man. So his encounters with many other natives, even as far as the east coast. They spoke of the starchild that we're speaking of right now. So these are things that made us who we are. And to share these out loud with people like yourself, Heeremiah, and the gentle population, that there's spirit, there's a spiritual world out here, and there's something that some people don't see and don't understand. Things that do bump at night, and things that you don't see. They can't hurt you.

37:00 But in a good frame of mind and making everything good. The only thing I say to everybody, it's going to be up to the woods and they hear, they see the hairy people. Make your tobacco offerings, and tell them thank you for allowing us to be up here, or show some respects in some way to the creatures and to land out there. Don't go out there just going out your trash and thinking that this is my land. Well, none of this land we don't even have words. And some of the tribes that we have land that we call our own, we don't own anything. We take what little you can take, and don't take too much, and always leave something also in return. Just a prayer on offering of tobacco, even a little bit of the best food you like, put on the floor right there, and for the creatures to chew on a little bit or something to just get back to show your appreciation of what's going on here. So I'm really glad that I can share this moment with you, because I know there's other incidences and many other stories and encounters I like to share with you, Jeremiah, because it hasn't stopped since the last thirty five years. I would say every other year, maybe once a year. There's other encounters that I've shared with others and they've shared with me. But it's always been really good encounters. It's never shook fear in me where I can't come back up here anymore. No, I go up there more often now knowing I feel more much more comfortable than the redwoods than I would up there in the middle of the city there in Oakland or San Francisco. For that reason, I think I have more fear of humans than I do the hairy people,

38:32 because my humans are unpredictable. The hairy people, as far as I'm concerned, they already accepted me to be a part of their family and they've they've helped me out a lot, and they've given me some incentive to see that life is much better living in a spiritual world than it is here living in a physical world. So the westernization has caused a lot of harm as well, because I believe religion, because these old ways that we've practiced, it's not religious, they're spiritual ways. It's how you live your life. How do you go about your life, how do you treat others, how do you treat yourself and your family members. That's exactly what the hairy people are teaching us. They're teaching us how they take care of themselves, how they take care of the land, how they take care of their family members. And these are things that are very important for us, Jeremiah, as spiritual leaders and also as a spokesperson that I am for the hairy people.

39:21 I speak very highly of them because they haven't done anything to me wrongly. They've just taught me the things that I need to learn to teach others to learn as well, to be better with themselves and better with their family members. Well, this is probably gonna these many other stories are going to share out loud later on. Absolutely, can I ask you one question. I know our time is almost done, but yes, one question, Well, how should we or what should we as non Native Americans do if a hairy person reaches out to us through some form of communication, through a dream or a voice, just like I was. Shared by Grandpa Raymond and Jenny Franco. Even if you don't smoke tobacco, get yourself a pouch of tobacco and pray to our heavy father or God. If you guys are God fearing people and and show them some appreciation, show them some respect, acknowledge them. Hey, I'm just here.

40:20 I'm a human being. I'm just I want to know a little bit more about you guys, but I also want to be respectful to the land and respectful to myself, respectful to myself and others as well. It's very simple. Just out of respect, acknowledge yourself, acknowledge your family, and acknowledge your your your lifestyle to be a good, clean lifestyle, very respectful lifestyle to others as well, different nationalities, and the hairy people who definitely will appreciate that. That's it, just be honest, It makes it makes total sense. You actually leave a little bit of the tobacco there where you are. I have tobacco with my own. I made my offer this morning, and I totally forgot about this interview we're going to have today. But when you send me the message, i'd made my offerings earlier this afternoon, and I made sure that and I even smuched down to make sure that whatever it is I'm sharing with you guys is going to be straight from my heart. One thing I do share with others, and if they do want my teachings or what I've taught been taught to teach them, I always tell them that whatever I've been shown, whatever I've been taught, I won't add on to it, nor will I take away from it. So most of the things I share with you guys, and even the general population at that level, I would never add on to anything in lie or conform something to my liking. So I always share everything that I'd been shared with with people like you as well, Taeremiah. There's nothing that's going to take me out of my way to make up something.

41:53 Everything I share with you guys from this day forward was always going to be the truth and always something that's exactly what was taught to me as well, even from the Harry people. There's nothing to add on to I'm just going to share the facts and the truth of that what it is that we're all about. Bear, I appreciate you spending your time today and sharing some really important information with us, and for also sharing that song with us as well. There's a very special thing. Most of us would never have the opportunity to hear something like that, so I'm very thankful for you sharing that with us today. Thank you, Jeremy. I appreciate you allowing me to share this.

42:35 You don't have the opportunity or the open window or the open door to be able to share with the general population. Being where I'm at with myself, I don't go out in public view and I'm not a spokesperson in front of thousands of people, but I have been a spokesperson for different venues like the International Industrty Council and the National Laws Guild. That was like forty years ago. But now when I look at myself where I'm at as a spiritual leader and a spiritual healer, I'll be able to share this medicine we call medicine. I'm able to share this information of this medicine the way It was shared to me by Grandpa Raymond, by Jimmy Franco, by Angnes Savera, and a few matt Ra and all the ones that passed on already I'm able to share this, especially with like Adie Sartucci. There's also we're at as youngsters that we could still share with elders that still have an open open mind to some of the things that ever been taught of, because there's still some venues of that with some of the spiritual leaders have been in contact with like I have. But it doesn't make me any stronger nor any smarter than them. It just makes me that much more capable of be able to accept what they can teach me that I don't know.

43:52 That I can share with them the things that I don't know. They will share that with me openheartedly, knowing that I don't know at all, JEREMIAHM. But whatever I do know, I'll be glad to share with you. Guys, absolutely, I thank you. Maybe someday we might be able to have another conversation. There is there a way that people can reach out to you or do you prefer just to be able to share things through this venue of coming on a podcast? This way. Well, for now, we could do this podcasting after the second or third interview that we get a chance to share more with you guys, that I'll be more than welcome, you know, because I've shared this with the other podcast. Eventually, I would love to get a group of maybe twenty thirty if not less than that, to be able to go up there to Bolt's Park, because it's exactly what the Hairy people want me to do.

44:43 No cameras, no recordings. I'll probably look at everybody and make sure they don't have anything they're going on too. But there would be time where the Hairy people tell me if we can get them up to the Bolt's Park, you know, because there's a gated community there, a gated area that we can actually camp out at if they're willing to financially help us or help themselves to be able to get this place. I spoke with the ranger up there, and we can get a Harryman Society up there and close the gates off and literally have a campsite there. We can all feed each other and have a sweat lodge, a ceremony, a dance circle because I am a bear dancer, and bring some other dancers out there as well, but we can also have them be able to hear and maybe smell the hairy people up there.

45:28 And I'm pretty sure the hairy people will be more than willing to present himself in a very metal level, because this is something some people are going to have a hard time with. If you see some of the pittlographs up here at Painted Rock and also up here in a Rocky Hill, there's pictographs up there, and in the pitlograph, they have the Hairyman the sasquatch, right on top and all the other creatures are below him. If you look at his picture and the way it's drawn out, it has like little patches underneath his eyes, and people always try to misunderstand it. Why do they have patches underneath his eye? Well, the patches represent kind of like a wet effect when you're teary eyed, and them being so hairy that they are. When he was introduced to the human beings, and the human beings had to be encountered by him, or they encountered, you know, the human beings, the hairy man was very sad and he cried. He cried for many many days. If you look at the wife and the children that are next to him, they don't have the same patches under their eyes that he does.

46:31 He was sad, Jeremiah, and I'll tell you why he was sad. He was sad because human beings were afraid of him, and he didn't want to be afraid. He didn't want everybody to be afraid of him. It wasn't his intentions. He didn't want anybody to be afraid of him. He wanted everybody to be respectful to him, like like we would be to our neighbor, or that would be each other cultures throughout the world. But that's not so true the way things are going on right now. There's so much disrespectful things going on, even with people of their own nationality. And at that time, you know, of course, when they heard people got a chance to encounter us, and we encountered him, we were afraid of him, and it made him cry, made him sad. But again, he doesn't want to be said anymore. He wants to be happy, to be able to be in all the clans or to wealth the United States, especially here in California and up in Canada, all throughout the areas of the United States.

47:25 He wants everybody to know him as a family man, as a steward of the land, as a steward of the creatures, a steward of loving people, god fearing people. So these are things that are very very simple, but yet in society as complex as it is right now, it's making it very difficult for some of us to share these things out loud without somebody saying, oh, he's full crap, this guse he's byessing us he's lying. No, No, I wouldn't lie anything that what I told you earlier. To Jeremiah, I'm not much to get into. These lies are made up stories. I'm telling you guys, the truth, and I'm happy that I got a chance to share this with you. And yes, I would love to do a couple more encounters, because there's so many encounters I've had with them that yes, I'm open to it, Jeremiah, So whenever you're you're ready, we could do this another couple of months from now, or maybe less than that.

48:16 I have other encounters and other stories with you, and then they've been they're pretty bizarre and they're out there. But I've had other people around me that was able to you know, hey, Bear, I've seen them. I've seen them, like, yeah, of course I knew who's there. But again, to be able to get these people together maybe three or four years from now and go up to Balts Park I have mentioned from one of the rangers up there, and we could probably get a group of us that are, you know, maybe financially fit, are able to financially incorporate this because we could spend a whole week up there, and they won't charge us a penny to stay up there, but we're looking at food and water and stuff like that because there's no running water up there. By. Then I'll be able to have a little bit more financial assistance to be able to take water bins up there, and we'll have water there to last us those days that we're up there. But this will be an encounter that maybe eventually maybe you can also join with us too, Jeremiah.

49:11 They can sit there with us, and we can be around the campsite, get into the sweat lodge. You see a beautiful bear dance going on, a little ceremony going on, and all of a sudden, late at night, you can hear these hairy people howling and they hear people joining in, you know, I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be rubbing elbows with us. Who knows, maybe they will, but again, people will probably run up the hill they're like, what's the spot just got done? You don't know, but we wouldn't know that. I'll be tell hey, come on, calm down, you guys. That is a little bit too much, too much excitement going on here. If anything out, I warn everybody, Hey, just calm down, you guys. They're gonna come around here and they're gonna probably hoot and holler and knock a couple of trees, and they want to make sure that you guys know that I'm not. I didn't pay anybody to go up there and do that. They're the one that wanted you guys come out here. So that way all your curiosities, your your ignorances, and your themeaners of that what you wanted to look for, you were finally able to find it without the cameras, with top the recordings, without the you know, the green light or red light effects that they could see it late at night or whatever.

50:19 I don't want that to happen. Matter of fact, they hurt people already told me ready, if these people come around and they want you to do this and then and this, refuse them or if not, put all their stuff in the log band and tell me you can't use this stuff until afterward done, you know. And even then after that they'll go up there to their village and they'll be laughing about how this little bear O, our little bear plan man bear helper literally brought these people up here. We're able to, you know, hang out with these folks a little bit from a distance, because they say, sometimes you have to love people from a distance, just your mind. So I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they hurt people want to do. They want to love you guys from a distance. Well, bear, it's been a great start to what sounds like an extended conversation. So thank you so much for coming on and I appreciate you spending your time with us today.
