    I have always found that the Nahanni Valley mysteries resembled that of the Ugrian Indigenous people, the Mansi and their lore of Dyatlov Pass (east shoulder of the mountain Kholat Syakhl, a Mansi name, meaning Dead Mountain) in the northern Ural mountains of Russia.

      The English have ancient folklore on hobgoblins, boggarts, ogres, and giants; but we chock that up to fairy tales nowadays since there’s no evidence. Big foot is just the native equivalent, but for some reason people buy into it.

      @thedukeofchutney468 Před 4 lety +9

      How much have you looked into the Bigfoot phenomenon? I used to dismiss it outright however there is existing evidence. There are thousands of track found, way more than hoaxers could do. Not to mention that there are tons of sightings a year and while some of course could be cases of mistaken identity, to dismiss all of them would be foolish. Finally, unlike goblins, bogarts, or centaurs. You have people from two vastly different cultures who in reality probably had little contact with each other (as many Indians died of diseases or were on reservations at this point leaving little time or interaction for folklore to be exchanged on a widespread level) describing the same creature. You don’t have these things happening with other “mythical” animals.

Our ancestors are believed to have migrated through the northern canada region before settling in modern day utah, colorado, new mexico and arizona. In fact the Navajo people still refer to themselves as dine. The word "Navajo" comes from a spanish corruption of the word for "warrior/raider", naabaaha- one that blurs about. Many Canadian and Alaskan athabascan natives speak recognizable Navajo words. The southwestern Apache tribes are also athabaskan.

    Well delivered stories. I'm glad I never heard of this valley in my youth. I probably would have gone to see what the fuss was all about. It's still tempting and my white beard would blend in with the snow. I have run into the large harry ones a few times. Their body odor is memorable. My gut was in a knot each time and my sense of danger has never been greater. I could care less if you believe me or not. On one such occasion my wife and I almost got run over by a group of dear. My wife got a good look at the creature that frightened the deer, for which l scolded her curiosity. I had run into this creature before and tracked it. It's right foot had a disfigured small toe from an old injury. The size dwarfed my size 12 shoe. One night while fishing at a pool on a river, the creature made its presence known by herling large rocks to make itself known. It was 2AM and I could see it's eyes moving horizontally by my Coleman lanturn no more than 50feet away on the opposite side of water. I had an elderly minister friend with me and he wanted to know what it was. At the time I told him it was a bear but he had seen the track and knew better. I did explain it to him after we left the area. He did not dispute my explanation of what it really was after he had witnessed it himself. I knew beforehand that it frequented the area but did not expect this ordeal. Nothing smells like this creature's body odor. I have always known not to lose it and run from any animal. I did once when a panther screamed from a tree above me on a Swanie river sink hole in the middle of the night. I ran into a bunch of brambles and got stuck long enough to get my fright under control. That cat followed me out and even followed my truck as I was leaving. I was pissed at myself for panicking but if you hear a panther scream just above you in a peaceful dark night it cuts right into your very core. My younger brother in his teens and my father all scattered into the trees and brush. It was a comical sight in retrospect but a stupid reaction. You had to be there. I have told these things to only a few people. At my age it doesn't bother me if someone believes me or not. I have noticed many people tend to bury things they can't explain and that frightens them. I suppose that's human but I have had many strange experiences over a long life and I like having a sense of wonder especially since I survived these events. The most dangerous creature I have ever meet are people and thankfully I have never had to kill one although there have been some close calls. I tend to get more aggressive when challenged. My wife of nearly 40 years said I am scary when something happens because I am normally friendly not liking violence. She has never feared me for any reason. She told me a few years ago that was one of the reasons she married me. She knew no one would dare harm her. Men should instinctively protect their families. I've done enough reminiscing. I'm home alone with my Jack Russell. God bless.

      @@rollerhockey69king87 My experiences were happenstance and I left the areas immediately. I usually travel well armed and I am more concerned about human threats. I have no desire to harm anything and avoid situations were I would have to. The night time fishing incident I described, I was armed but decided early not to shoot unless absolutely necessary. I would not recommend looking for anything you might have to defend yourself against. I used to spear fish in Florida many years ago and ran into a few monster sharks. When you enter into the wilds your entering into another predators world and your not the biggest and baddest. Remember to never run as this excites a predator. Same for the ocean. Predators are cautious when confronted. That works with people also. I've avoided violence by standing my ground. I am not a scary or loud person, I am prepared to be truly scary and dangerous when necessary. In Canada I was surrounded by a pack of wolves one night. They were just curious as I stood my ground. They moved on. Did not have a gun that time. Should have because bears can be a real problem. I am old now with most of my adventurous days behind me. The most dangerous place in the world is cities with people. They are unpredictable. God bless.

      Kelsea is smart and talented. Curious though isn't it that a society obsessed with looks shames men for even the most complimentary comments?
      What would people prefer? Insults?
      Canada & natives? Like many ancient peoples, in many countries, no one listens to them for being 'natives'. Despite their stories going back hundreds (even thousands) of years people dismiss it out of what can only be called western arrogance, snobbery and a certain bit of racism?
      They've been on Earth longer than most of the western world yet we treat them like they know nothing?
      Says way more about the shortcomings of the west and modern living IMHO.

      It sounds like you are talking about tv addicted city dwellers with some kind of college degree that doesn’t lead to a career. I think there should be a school course that would take students out to the mountains/wilderness with native guides that could share their stories and history.

    I spent two weeks on Great Slave Lake for a fishing trip in and around Lutselk'e and heard many stories from locals and guides, esp about the nuk-luk and how a group of youngsters used to come to the lodge I was staying at, would raid the garbage bins at night for food. Also, if you were off fishing they would steal items/food from your camp site if left unattended. But up in around Lutselk'e you hear more about their "Nesse" or lake monster. I love stories and documentaries like this, always been fascinated by cryptids and the paranormal. Seen lots of wildlife and had a few strange encounters, but never really seen anything out of the ordinary.

    Well done review of the book "Legends of the Nahanni Valley". I'd like to suggest another that was published in the 1950's about the expedition of R.M. Patterson in the late 1920's. Patterson traveled the South Nahanni alone looking for gold and confirming many of the mysteries and legends of the region. The title, "The Dangerous River" which was compiled from Patterson's own notes and journals as well as some of his original photographs. There are many reprints and the original publication can still be found. An excellent read.
