Inhaltsangabe

The Sasquatch is also popularly known as Bigfoot or the Bushman. The hairy creature walks upright and stands 8 or 9 feet tall. He might weigh a hefty 600 pounds. A grizzly bear might run away from him. He has mostly been spotted, if barely, in the woods and mountains of Portland, British Columbia, and the Northwest Territories. Basically, anywhere where civilization isn’t!

Yet, civilization is getting closer! Anthropologist Jonathan Hart and his protegee, Aubrey, want to record the migratory passage of the elusive creature and if possible, to get an actual photo of “the big fella”.

This is the story of a Sasquatch family which moves from the State of Washington on its trek through British Columbia and then to the Yukon in order to follow game and find shelter away from humans. There Is Harry, the father, Harriet, the mother, and their two sons, Junior who is equivalent to an 18-year-old teenager and Little Junior, who was a mere adolescent, about 12 years old.

The bad characters in the story are Rare Exhibits Inc., a company owned by Chinese entrepreneur, Xi Hao, who is determined to capture one of these specimens for their circus show. Throw in red neck hunters like, Big Mac and Little Jimmy, who are equipped with 308 rifles with scopes, and we have the makings of an inflammatory plot.

However, Ranger Bob Evans works with the local natives, Chief Joseph and his sons Hanta and Roy, who are excellent trackers. They are determined to protect the natural habitat around the city of Whitehorse, Yukon. RCMP Sergeant Brett Wilson also makes sure that, if there are Sasquatches around, that hunters with rifles don’t break the law.

The CEO of the Rare Exhibits Inc., Xi Hao, has a hidden sense of ethics despite his ambition to kill or capture a Sasquatch. His son, Haoyu is 18, eager for adventure, but he does not want to harm these elusive creatures in the wild. The boy, unlike his father, wants to be a scientist. His name means “vast universe” in English.

All these elements make for nail-biting conflicts and questions about natural and moral rights.
