Teachings on Chiye-Tanka, by Stephanie Big Eagle


Teachings on Chiye-Tanka, by Stephanie Big Eagle: Here is a remake of the short on Chiye Tanka by Stephanie Big Eagle, with a background soundtrack. We posted the original version two years ago, and another clip she made on the same topic. There are a few slightly different versions, some shortened, so we shared here a few links found on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

In these short videos, Stephanie summarizes eloquently the essential guidelines of Indigenous knowledge about our Hairy Humanoids relatives. These clips are meant to become classics, as an excellent starter for anyone with interest into our Elder relatives known as Chiye Tanka or Sasquatch.

Stephanie Big Eagle’s autobiography: ”Thunderbird Rising: A Memoir of Reconnection, Resilience, & Empowerment”, is available on Amazon. Visit her website.

These first two links are the latest remake with musical soundtrack.

Bigfoot, aka Chiye-Tanka, or Sasquatch, is known to some as the husband of Mother Earth. He is a powerful, psychic, interdimensional being whose sighting imparts a warning; a message of unavoidable change. He is called “Chiye-Tanka,” in Lakota/Dakota language, or “Elder Brother,” because he was here before humans, and will most likely be here for far longer. He also shares medicines and Earth-teachings with some humans. Note that this video is made from a cultural context, mostly Lakota/Dakota. I believe there are both males and females of this Elder Nation, and they are both ancient caretakers of Mother Earth. Of course, for platform protection, “this is for entertainment purposes only.” #storytime #paranormal #otherworldly #bigfoot #Lakota

An illustrated scene featuring a Sasquatch (Chiye-Tanka) in a forest, with a native individual standing in front. The background includes trees and foliage, while the foreground has a woman with traditional markings, asking, 'who is Chiye-Tanka'.
