Join us for a captivating journey into the heart of Indigenous Pacific Northwest lore with Thomas Sewid (Tom Sewid), a renowned Kwakwaka'wakw/Cree First Nations artist, investigator, and cultural educator from Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
As the founder of Sasquatch Island—a vibrant community uniting Facebook groups, a popular YouTube channel, and sasquatchisland.com —Thomas has become a leading voice in sharing authentic Indigenous perspectives on Sasquatch (known as Dzoonakwa in his traditions). Drawing from his deep bush-living experiences, ancestral family stories, conversations with elders, and extensive fieldwork, he offers respectful, culturally grounded insights into these enigmatic beings through encounters, expeditions, traditional knowledge, and his own powerful artwork.
In this episode, the focus turns to the fascinating world of the "Little People"—small, hairy, bipedal spirit beings woven throughout Indigenous North American traditions. For the Kwakwaka'wakw, these are the Bokwus (also known as Bukwas or Boqs), elusive forest spirits often described as child-sized or smaller, masters of the ghost world, and distinctly separate from the larger Dzoonakwa/Sasquatch. Known across tribes as Little People, Stick People, and other names, they are portrayed as swift, shy, mischievous tricksters—sometimes playful or benevolent, sometimes issuing warnings—who move between the physical and spiritual realms.
Thomas shares compelling personal encounters, collected stories from elders and fellow First Nations people, and rich cultural context that brings these beings vividly to life. Blending these accounts with broader Sasquatch discussions, this episode delivers a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the unseen world that has captivated Indigenous knowledge keepers for generations.
