0:00 1:27:56

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Tom Sewid, a First Nations man from Northern Vancouver Island who now lives in Forks, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. Growing up immersed in Indigenous traditions where Sasquatch is understood as part of the land and culture, Thomas shares a lifetime of encounters that began in his youth and continued through decades spent guiding, fishing, and living deep in the bush. From coastal shellfish beaches of Vancouver Island to remote river systems and logging country near Forks, Thomas recounts close-range sightings, thermal captures, gifting interactions, and moments that brought him face to face with these beings at startling distances. He also discusses the development of his upcoming Sasquatch museum, rare cast acquisitions, and the cultural regalia connected to his tribe’s highest-ranking crest. Throughout the conversation, Thomas offers insight into territorial patterns, population estimates tied to salmon rivers, and the importance of respect when entering these environments. His perspective bridges lived wilderness experience with Indigenous knowledge passed down through generations. Join us as we explore Thomas’s powerful journey across Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest, where Sasquatch is not a legend of the past, but an ongoing presence woven into the land itself.
