“We must walk lightly when we are between worlds with this sacred being.” – Phillip Cash Cash
Indigenous peoples have long been in relationship with and shared stories about sacred forest protectors, often called Sasquatch and Bigfoot. The works in this exhibition are made by Indigenous artists and honor generations of spiritual practices, storytelling, and tradition. Leave your preconceived notions behind and immerse yourself, not in the question of if Sasquatch exists, but rather, how are we existing with and honoring this non-human other.
This exhibition will run from May 30, 2025, to January 4, 2026, at the Discovery Museum.
Curated to align with the mission of World Forestry Center, this exhibition was created in collaboration with these Indigenous artists and the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon, which featured the exhibition Sensing Sasquatch in 2024.
The exhibition is advised by and consists of original artwork by: Phillip Cash Cash, Ph.D. (Nez Perce, Cayuse), HollyAnna CougarTracks DeCoteau Littlebull (Yakama, Nez Perce, Cayuse, Cree), Charlene “Tillie” Dimmick (Warm Springs), Frank Buffalo Hyde (Nez Perce, Onondaga) and Rocky LaRock (Salish), Greg Archuleta (Grand Ronde).
