On this edition of Sasquatch Tracks, after opening news and discussion, we turn our attention to an often-overlooked aspect of the discussion about America’s Relict Hominoid: what does the government say about Sasquatch?

It may come as a surprise that on many occasions, government agencies have weighed in on the subject, which includes the Department of the Interior, the Army Corps of Engineers, and yes, even the FBI. We go directly to the sources and reference official documents that show how government agencies have addressed the subject of Sasquatch over the years.
