SASQUATCH IN NATIVE AMERICAN WORLD VIEW: A STUDY IN POST MODERN ANTHROPOLOGY The belief in Sasquatch, or Bigfoot, is an enduring part of Native American oral traditions across various tribes. Yet, within mainstream society, the existence of this cryptid is often dismissed as folklore or pseudo-science, relegating these indigenous narratives to the margins of cultural discourse. Edward Docks’ postmodern framework, which emphasizes the destabilization of grand narratives, the deconstruction of fixed identities, and the value of marginalized perspectives, provides a powerful lens through which to examine this phenomenon. This essay applies Docks' model of postmodernism to explore how the belief in Sasquatch by Native Americans serves as a marginalized narrative that challenges dominant epistemologies and reveals the complexities of cultural identity, memory, and knowledge.
