Sasquatch Investigations of the Rockies is the only Bigfoot research group whose origins are in Colorado.
We reside in beautiful Parker, Colorado, which is south of Denver near the Palmer Divide.
Our researchers focus on the Rocky Mountains. All our evidence is from Colorado and it is our own. Our best asset is our willingness to spend weeks in the field year-round, regardless of the weather conditions.
This is why we are so successful. We study our friends in their natural environment.
We pride ourselves in trying to be a friend to them always. No strings attached. Harming one or associating with people who do so knowingly has never been an option. It has been and always will be friendship first, evidence second.
This approach has allowed us a glimpse into their world. We have forged strong friendships as a result of patience and caring. We share what we receive in hopes it will educate you in their ways respectfully.
When we are in their home, they are treated with the same dignity and respect everyone should be entitled to by right in our great country. Anything less in our eyes is and always will be unacceptable.
Our goals are to push for more openness within the Bigfoot research community and to present evidence that will help in protection efforts of this unknown, iconic species.

Was the poop sample ever tested?
Great post.
Check out “Bigfoot/Sasquatch Resurgence of Native American Indian Legends,” a 210-page encyclopedia-sized (8.5 x 11in) book filled with the most valuable information ever documented on the subject- from 1603 to present. These most valuable accounts had been documented by some of the most notable figures in the History of North America. And much of what these stories and accounts suggest goes well beyond- what- a dead-body of Bigfoot will not tell us about; its’ behavior.
This is a non-fiction book about the anthropological objective of Bigfoot/Sasquatch in North America. [Finally! (Being that If there was- any truth- to such a creature- the Native American Indians would probably have a historical record of it as well? And they do. Boy- how they do!)] The book is cited and sourced- from hundreds of literary examples. From the Great explorer Samuel De Champlain’s diary from 1603 (East coast), to Jose Mariano Mociño’s book from 1792 (West coast of BC). To Eskimo accounts gathered from early 1800’s Russian explorers, to stories gathered from Southern California’s Mission Indians by Spanish Priests in the late 1700’s. As well as stories told among Daniel Boone, “Buffalo” Bill Cody, various Reverends, ministers, missionaries, Generals, and even a U.S. President? Yes (Theodore Roosevelt); All inside This Book! Cited and sourced from various books on the subject- to uncontaminated accounts sourced from (older) various University texts (having nothing to do with the names “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch”) that- reveal- the same described creature- by different names- from original (uncontaminated) Native American Indian, and explorer accounts.
What sets this book apart and makes it unique is that it is a review of several other books. There are direct quotes with the bibliographic info included in the text- right next to the quotes (title, author, year, publishing co., and city and state). All made possible through the “Fair Use Law.” I think it definitely stands-out as the strongest book with the most compelling proof- ever written on the subject.
The book is actually a review of over 100 tribes! Put together in a format with lines that separate some of the various tribes and the litany of newly-revealed, re-evaluated, and (especially) older examples of information.
This book is $39.99, but it has been discounted on amazon.com for only $29.99. I have discounts on bulk order copies as well (especially if you would like to stock this book for resale). I can also send you a sample of some of the book if you would like to review it first. Please contact me via email if you are interested.
Thank you

And here is one of my Favorite Quotes:
“A small party of people staying in one place for a long time will be the only possible way of obtaining definitive scientific information about these creatures.”
British Anthropologist Myra Shackley from her book “Still Living?” (1983).
I enjoyed hearing you talk in Hastings over the past weekend! Unfortunately I did not win the Bigfoot camping trip. I guess I’ll have to wait and look forward to next year’s conference. Fun!
I live in GJ CO I truly believe in Bigfoot. I have been doing my own research but would love to be part of a real professional research team. What do I need to do? Thanks Mike
Check out the new book, “Bigfoot/Sasquatch Resurgence of Native American Indian Legends.” It’s a real eye-opener as far the evaluation we are given from several pre-Columbian Native American Indian tribes all throughout the US and Canada. And it seems that these stories are as saturated among Eastern Tribes (Micmac, Algonquian, Iroquois, Wyandot (Huron), Cherokee, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy etc.) as they are among Western Tribes (Multnomah, Chinook, Chetco, Clackamas, Wasco, Wishram, Molalla, etc). As well centuries-old stories told among Midwestern and Southwestern Tribes. It’s also a very entertaining read (like a lot of fiction books) and it also presents itself as a very different-type of a non-fiction book.
[When thinking of another example I am at a dead-end. Except for- “Chariots of the Gods” which was the first book to ever look at very-old anthropology (Assyrians, Egyptians, Mayan and Aztec cultures, etc.) in regards to possible early evidence of UFOs/extra-terrestrial life on earth. That book came out in the 1960s, but still sells a lot of copies even today. My book is a look at Native American Indian legends, stories, suggestions, and (in some cases) actual instances. Anthropology in Review (recorded from 1603 to present), but also far-more recent accounts of (what everyone today calls) “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.”]
The book appears to evaluate a lot more about Bigfoot/Sasquatch behavior- that we otherwise would not have known about? And it also presents some of the folklore (fictitious stories) that these various tribes had made up for entertainment. Yet, at the same time, these stories seem to deliver a- warning- in regards to, the behavior(s) of, the same described creature. (In review of 100-tribes- 25% give details of Sasquatch actually kidnapping people.) As well as the idea that the same described creature (brought forth with several different-names form tribe-to-tribe); is also given several behavioral-traits that the reader should be able to absorb, and hopefully become familiar with, from some of the stories that are given. [These stories have also been translated for the reader as well (this has never even been done before).]
Just the very-idea that these Native Americans had put these types of stories together, before our time [with such lurid-details (including actual stories of property damage- in regards to its size)], in regards to what people still claim to encounter, all throughout our woods of North America (but a long-time back), is very-fascinating (and entertaining)! Growing up, and having been inspired by (mostly) fictitious works of entertainment [weren’t we all (from Stephen King to “Lord of the Rings”)], and also finding documentary television very-fascinating, it made me scratch my head when various stories from the Native Americans in regards to Bigfoot/Sasquatch were first, and subsequently thereafter, brought to my attention. Do Native American Indians really have- these kinds of stories- of what we still call “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch?” Could these stories be for real? And- with so much good fiction in real-life- what else is really real? (Really?)
So many findings, but definitely not all, are revealed inside this book, “Bigfoot/Sasquatch Resurgence of Native American Indian Legends.” And actually there are so-many old, stories of what is seemingly described to be the same thing (Bigfoot/Sasquatch) from old Native American Indian and explorer account that the information continues on- from where it left off- on it’s way forth- in a sequel to the original titled, “Bigfoot/Sasquatch Native American Indian Legends Part II….The Resurgence Continues.” I am still trying to get more coverage (Reviews) for the first book (as far as: newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc). If you know of anyone who’s interested in reviewing the book for more coverage- Let me Know. [I also have bulk-order copies for sale on discount- if you’d like to supply some of your customers. (Also available on Amazon.com)]
Thank You,
Always the Best,

Thanks for the posting here. I find it very informative and plan to obtain the book mentioned.
Enjoy Native American reads and adding Sasquatch is a bonus
