Many Aboriginal groups in Canada have stories about “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.” Northwest coastal First Nations carved masks of the “Wild Man of the Woods,” or “Bukwas.” Gather examples of stories from various First Nations. Create an artistic image of Bukwas or the Wild Man of the Woods based on descriptions contained in the stories. Compare the students’ depictions to those created by Aboriginal artists.
