Sa'be: the Ojibwe Bigfoot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2016
- Sa'be is an Ojibwe word for Bigfoot. One of the conspicuously many terms for something that supposedly doesn't exist. Context of Ojibwe culture is imperative to understand the place that Sa'be held in the First Nation People's world.
as a first nations person. i can give some insight as to why Sa'be might be "Honesty."
because, the wild men of north america, unlike humans, dont pretend to be anything. they just... Live, in tune with nature and their surroundings, much in the way, most indigenous people here, aspire to live.
That was my line of thinking too. They just have no reason to mask their intentions. They might still do bad things like steal from you or hurt you, since all living beings are concerned with their own survival, but they never hide their intent.
They're always abundantly clear and upfront about what they intend to do before they do it. Sometimes that intent might be positive, sometimes it's negative, but they never hide what they mean when they have a message to give.
My thoughts exactly. I put it like this. Sa Be uses nothing to live. No "things". It's just able to live. I know many natives believe the bear to be our ancestor or brother. This is for similar reasons along with his strength
Honestly is knowing the truth of ourselves. We pray to the known and unknown, the Sabe or Yawe knows of the unknown
@@orcvsivstitia7608 in the teachings I was given we literally were born from a bear here on Turtle Island
I agree with Sarge.
As a Canadian that grew up near a native reserve and heard many stories from natives that had come to my school growing up I can confirm that they believe this creature was as real as all the other animals in the seven grandfather teachings.
Well, they are
When you have seen one, you know.
Could it be that the Ojibwe believed the Hairy People incapable of deceit? I've heard it suggested that (as a shamanic archetype, at least) the Hairy People are impeccably truthful by nature, thus they were regarded as the most trustworthy of messengers.
ah, but which came first?
Being of Ojibwe descent, though knowing very little of the culture, having been born and raised in New England, I found this video of yours especially interesting. You have an incredible channel and, in my opinion, stand head and shoulders above all the other cryptic channels out there. Amazing job, keep up the good work! It's great to find a channel so different from the rest...one that really seems to want to look at both sides and discover the truth, without exploiting it.
It is nice
Sorry you missed out on the teachings of our culture. I’m impressed Bob uses the Ojibway words (to the best of his ability lol)
🇦🇺😎👌TOTALLY AGREE.
He’s the goat 🐐
@@adammckenzie8769 I think it's incredibly important the way Bob's able to get his point and facts across with reason, observation, and existing science. He's a competent young man who's very capable of making points in a very rounded, fully matured, and nuanced way. Observation is a very essential aspect of science and to just deny an observation is to refuse a necessary step in learning.
Absolutely spot on explaination of why to pay attention to the first nations people and their teachings!
I really enjoy your videos. They are honest, relaxed, and free from exaggeration or embellishment. Keep doing what you're doing.
+RamblinAround Thanks a lot man. I have every intention to keep on keepin' on. And yes, I got fed up with the crap out there and decided I had to do it myself.
Why are people now fucking with you? Dont get it. It smells bad to me.
@@BobGymlan I enjoy your videos and I appreciate the fact that you present all the facts that you can gather for each video and allow your viewers the option of choosing what they think without forcing people to believe or not to believe thank you for the videos
Awesome videos
I'm Ojibwa from northern Ontario your bang on chum and as for the spirituality same view ahhheee
Joe Gagnon washte brother..Lakota cousin here. We know these aren't animals. .lol...they are another tribe.
Ojibwa from Rocky Boy, Mt. I live this guy, Bob Gymlan or not he seems to know what he's talking about here.
NW Ontario and MN... his pronunciation is a little rough, but he's on to something ;)
Em Wilson A few braves above ✌️.

From what I know, Sa be knows your heart, your thoughts, intentions, and your spirit. Honesty is needed and it must be true and not false honesty. If you are not, Sa be could harm you! Plus, if you seek them, you must do so with honest and pure intentions. They too are some what considered a kind of spirit as well.
Good point and it's worth noting that people with pure intentions, unafraid but showing tenderness are treated with respect by many other creatures as well (see: Lion Whisperer). It may be that honesty was most important with BF especially because of the harm it could bring to the dishonest or those of ill intent.
Agreed!
when i saw and filmed my first ever sasquatch last august i was singing songs and hoping to see one. it was awe-some and terrifying at the same time.
he only let me see him when i was alone and separated from my hiking group.
i have a 15 second video of it on my channel.
Ojibwe is a term used by other tribes to identify the Anishnabe. They also live here in Michigan on the west side.
I know I'm late to the party but just wanted to pop in and say I'm Irish and my husband is Ojibwe. Our kids LOVE Sabe and tell people how they protect the forest.
Some have started to use the raven instead of Sabe.
Seems possible the "Stiff-legged Bear" could be a cultural memory of the Giant Short-faced Bear we know their ancestors must have encountered on their journey to the Americas. They have very long limbs for a bear. And the "Water Panther" could be referring to Jaguars, which can live in surprisingly varied environments and roamed a much larger territory in antiquity. Jaguars are also the most water-tolerating of any of the big cats and have been filmed swimming to catch their prey. Just a thought. Love your videos, man!
Perhaps the tribe traded with more southerly indigenous peoples who knew of the jaguar directly or indirectly (hides and stories).
Alternatively, could the water panther have been the river otter?
Even here in NZ there is Bigfoot stories. I was talking to a Maori lady who had grown up in a remote part of the Whanganui River. I asked her what were some of the things she'd seen and her eyes went distant and she stated 'The big hairy man'. She said as kids they'd see the big hairy man alot.
I have heard of encounters from the dark forests of Northland, the coastal forests of the Waitakeres West Auckland. The Coromandle forests and Mt Moehau on the Peninsula. The Kaimanawas Bay of Plenty and the mysterious Te Ureweras East Coast. The rugged inhospitable West Coast Haast pass and Mt Aspiring area to the forests of the Catlins Southland and the deep south Fiordland. People of the trees.
I’m loving your channel, and your sensible and balanced comments. Thanks Bob. Please keep doing what you do.
Mr. Gymlan,
Thank you for your contributions! I stumbled across the BF world as a deliberate flight from reality due to a chronic pain condition. Admitting how many hours I've spent reading articles, watching videos and listening to eyewitness testimony would be embarrassing if it weren't for the grains of truth I've come upon.
My mother is a private investigator and I trained with her for many years as well as serving as assistant in many of her cases. During a particularly painful and extended bout of pain I really hit the books and Internet and there is definitely something here.
Even if this is a fiction the societal aspect is fascinating on its own. That so many people across so many walks of life have encountered this species either in or near the remote wilderness is incredible....no matter which side you land on.
Biology professors often say that when we find new species, they tend to be closely related to the familiar. Well, that's what's been reported!
Thank You,
Frog
Hey frog! I'm dealing with a chronic pain disease as well. I know the struggle frog-bro. And yes, I have also spent hundreds of hours doing self research. I felt it was time to contribute.
The Ojibwe would probably have had a closer relationship with Sasquatch.
So maybe they are honest creatures.
I've lived my entire life about 15 miles away from the Llangernyw yew tree and I've never been to see it.
I just noticed something very interesting that you might’ve missed Bob, the bison is represented in one of their teachings, but the traditional bison range ended around the same original territory of the Ojibwe, meaning that of course they knew about bison but they didn’t encounter them on a typical basis, the same could be said for Sasquatch as it could mean that it was just general knowledge that they existed like the bison even though they may have not interacted regularly, idk someone can correct me but I thought it was kinda interesting
Bison and Buffalo are often used interchangeably in language today.
I've always been taught Buffalo.
Because the whole Buffalo is used in daily life and is very important to live - we look to Buffalo to teach us respect. He offers his life up so that we may live. He does not make his life any less than yours. It makes it more. Learn respect and balance. And only take what you need.
:)
We traded for Buffalo robes. The Odawa are extensive water travelers and traded with many people. The world itself they say means traders, but it’s more than that. The o always refers to the heart, not as just as a physical organ tho, but a concept. Our word that gets translated as warrior, Ogitchida, means “big hearted ones”.
@@BillysThreat You may have been taught buffalo, and I don't mean to bog you down or be annoying. But for all technical purposes the Animals that are found in North America, and sparsely in Europe, are the ones that are technically called Bison. And the more cow like ones that are found in Africa, India, and South-east Asia are technically agreed on as Buffalo.
Ya know Bison are often called Buffalo, but Buffalo are never called Bison.
I'd heard of Bagwajiwininiwag (or other spellings) before on my research into Ojibwe Wendigo mythology in before and noted that while some westerners confuse (and blanket mythologize) Sasquatch, Yeti, and Wendigo together while the Ojibwe distinguished between them. On a mythological level, Wendigo may be the counter (or Sin) version of the Honesty of Sabe. I've also had this hypothesis that, during harsh winters with little food, a Sasquatch could be confused or considered a different animal; this would be due to less fat on the body and ( just like there is evidence that paleoindians did) a tendency to wear hides and skulls of other animals (like deer) to hunt more proficiently. I know that you lean away from the more human like hypothesis but there are cases of Sasquatch making knots. Just wanted to get my idea out there....
I know this is 3yrs later but I wanted to say they are not the same. And Sabe do not need to put other animals skin or fur on to hunt or of the likes. The thought you shared is far better than most who attach W to Sabe.
Without being more emerged into Ojibwe beliefs it makes it hard to pass the concept on to someone.
@@BillysThreat I never said I thought they were the same either; and in a mythological sense I too get quite aggravated when they are mixed up. My winter hunting hypothesis is simply a purely scientific explanation to avoid overlapping territories of cryptid species; and not necessarily one I subscribe to in most settings. Being a Cryptozoologist means having one foot in cultural mythology and another in science and so it can be difficult to not step on peoples toes. I also understand that these days, mainly among the Oji-Cree in Quebec, it is again becoming quite taboo to even mention the Ice Cannibals by name and I apologize for any insensitivity coming from my deep interest in the topic.
The Annishanbe or Ojibwe peoples also have a word in their vocab for the Woolley Mammoth...Their language is very hard and very descriptive...Their are 7 tribal rez lands in northern MN...I learned a lot from them and Dakota people
That's where my Great grandparents came from, and grandmother who married a French man !!! Canada ojibbewa!Your Work is very intresting !! Learn a bit everytime..!!For me squirrel is prepare for harder times!!!
Tee-tse-kin or Tootooch is the name given by the Barkley Sound Coast Salish Indians to the Thunder Bird, a mighty supernatural bird in Indian mythology. This differs from Raven Hul̓q̓umín̓um̓ and Eagle yəwəla who are understood as actual creatures and also found in totems epitomizing particular characteristics and standing as clan guardians. Sasquatch is also a Salish word and was by no means ever considered a mythological figure, but a flesh and blood tribal relative of the forests. Should we discount the distinctions made by people inhabiting these spaces for thousands of years? That indeed seems foolish. Sorry to appear to mirror your presentation, but I thought other examples are worth noting in addition to your highly relevant point. Thanks for your first rate presentation Bob.
Bless up. Knowledge is truth. Truth is knowledge. Let Honesty be the guide.
I’m impressed with your keyboard skills
Thunderbird wasn´t considered a mythological, supernatural creature either, and birds of prey larger than recent eagles are known from fossil material.
Bagwajiwininiwag is one of the most enjoyable words ive ever said.. im probably not saying it correctly but still
I love listening to you and the logical breakdown of facts so that everyone, with the exception of trolls, can understand. Great work Bob!
Not a researcher or scientist, just a dude from the woods who loves animals and learning more about nature. First youtube comment too, by the by. I think Sa'be was equated with honesty because it forces your true nature to the surface when you encounter one. Infrasound not withstanding, the fortitude it would take to not run from one of these things in the middle of the woods is crazy to me, and I completely believe that native peoples not only interacted with Sasquatch, but also at some points in time most likely cooperated with them in some sense. So maybe Sa'be was the Ojibwe's living, breathing mash-up of a right of passage and a polygraph test. Also, the apparent intelligence and stoicism of the creatures probably didn't hurt either.
Awesome channel, too. Keep it up man, never encountered someone with your level of enthusiasm and sincerity for the subject matter, who didn't end up sounding a little too fervid to be considered wholly credible.
Omg Thank you thank you for sharing our teachings and for defending the logical stance that all of the seven animal grandfathers are real. They’re saying the only animal they lied about and made up is the one who has taught them the virtue of honesty
They could be representing Honesty because they so clearly state how they appreciate human company. Head-sized rocks flung at you, and uprooted trees thrown in your path, sure is a no-frill telegraph of their appreciation of your presence!
Very TRUE
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. You have the best videos on this subject on UTube. The logic & intellect you use to explain why you feel one way or another about a certain subject is unparalleled. Great fu*kin job my man. Much respect ✊🏼
I'm just binging your content right now, cant wait for your next upload, this stuff is great!
Love your channel dude! Best Bigfoot channel on RUclips in my opinion. Thanks man!
Yes, indeed Bob! Tell the truth, even if your voice trembles! Sabe! Honesty. Truth. Be honest with yourself and to others! Honesty is a teaching of many culture's. It is wise!
There's many accounts of people leaving them food or doing them a good turn and polished stones, braided bark/sticks and the like are left to thank you for the food. Seems honest to me. You said metaphors had to be simple.
Bob, you blow my mind! You are so intelligent & articulate, I so enjoy winding down my days immersed in your stories. Such easy listening. Keep doing what you do brother!
As always very nicely and thoughtfully done!
+Teflon66 thanks teflon
Bob, you're a intuitive, smart man. I agree with you. Awesome info too. Thank you for quality videos, and the time it takes to make em. Great channel!!!!
+Ginger Countryman I sure do appreciate that. I read about you and your ma's encounter. It shall be in the back of my head as I make more videos.
+Bob Gymlan :) You are awesome. So kind of you. I know it's way more fantastic to me than everyone who has to hear it over and over lol. I'm gonna try to stop bragging bout it so much ;) . I just get pumped up excited, everytime, for over 35 years!!!! It never gets less exciting. Thank you again. So nice!!!!
Don't keep secrets Ginger, where do we find your story?
jolly roger You are too kind!!! I feel so flattered to be asked. Until RUclips gave me the courage, I never spoke of my encounter. Gosh, people will say, that Ginger is bragging again about her "encounter" lol. It's special cuz of how close we were, and how we gazed into each others eyes. We were 4 wheeling in Colorado, Stony pass, when I was 11. I told my dad, when we get down to temberline I need to pee lol. So did my mom. We went into the woods, but soon heard talking and noise, like hikers or a church group, laughing kicking rocks etc. So we were very quiet. We assumed the road must switchback above us. As we were zipping up, I looked in front of me, and there stood a bigfoot, about 15 or 20 feet directly in front of me. We just stared at each other, and I knew immediately that was where the noise had come from, so did my mom. We are outdoors people , and hunted since before I ever came along. I automatically knew to be quiet, and still, I guess from my dad saying hush all the time lol. Mom finally screamed , get, go away, and with a look of shame, it stepped behind a pine, and we ran to the jeep, and my dad had his gun, and was headed for us. We went right back up, but found nothing. We had no idea bigfoot existed, especially in my beloved Colorado. I assumed it lived on Everest or something lol. But being a hunter, I knew and mom knew, we saw a bigfoot. Never thought bear for one second. It had a human face, and was obviously kind. Kind eyes, gentle and angelic. Mom's screaming at it hurt it's feelings, I think. So much expression. We realized that we were in a small patch of trees, and that the talking was not hikers. I heard men , women, and children talking, so did my mom. That is why it did not know we were there. It was as shocked as we were. But, I know they can talk, and laugh. They were having fun! I wonder how many was there? My mom is 78 now, and we still speak about it as a blessing, daily. Over 35 yrs, and not one day without recalling that day. It's life changing experience. Thank you so kindly for letting me tell that story again. I so appreciate your interest, and I hope it didn't bore you. Sorry it's so long hahaha. :) :) :)
I'm going back to Stony pass this month, and I'm going to try and find that spot, just below timber line. I really have a clear picture of where we were. My husband does not believe in bigfoot, and I'm praying he gets to become a believer. He makes me furious for not believing me and mom. Now I think he does believe us, but is just ugly enough to keep saying he doesnt. He knows I'd never lie, about anything. Ugh!!! FRUSTRATING!!!
Honesty and truth. That's what I find on your channel. And I thank you.
THANKS BOB you are an excellent example of thorough dedication to a difficult subject whom which I totally believe, please keep it coming.
Love this video BOB !!!! THANKS for all the fantastic work you do in making them for us ! And yes I'm not a dumb ass who thinks you are someone else! ! 😆😆😆😂😂
I think the honesty comes from an understanding of Sasquatch's ties to humans but being more honest to the primal side of all animals. It is my belief that it is the Ojibwe saying that Sasquatch is a more honest human, a human having embraced nature and the natural order entirely. Hence being a "wild" or "free" man
Nothing Will make you face the truth of who you are and the honesty found there in like a confrontation with something so like yourself, and yet so much more powerful and connected to nature...
Actually it is “misaabe“, which means “Big man“. Great work👍
gichi-miigwech!
@Frizzurd Every time, our ancestors saw him, they said“ there's walking an honest man€
@@miskogwanredfeather5135 thank u so much 4 sharing. That was straight cultural insight.
@@miskogwanredfeather5135 I’m curious, since you likely have a much better understanding of the idea than anyone else, is it that they are more honest because they “accept” living with nature in, like the purest way or something of the sort, and are thus “honest” with themselves, or is it a more literal honesty of “yeah they tell the truth about stuff”. I’m sure the reason I see both is because both are valid interpretations in some way, but I was curious what your reading of it is. Thanks!
The first one. Sabe is ok living alone (or in groups) and with only essentials. Sabe has lived along side many many other tribes throughout Turtle Island. Sabe teaches us to be honest with ourselves and find peace in being alone and accepting things for what they are. Walk through life without having to leave a mark behind you.
Honestly if you look up Sabe as being part of the seven sacred teachings you'll find an enjoyable and informative rabbit hole to go down.
I think that this is a truly wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your work. 😊
Perfectly put👈
Another great video Bob! 👍👍
Oh wow! Your idea about Sabe and honesty is brilliant I love it thanks for sharing that.
👍 Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Seriously incredible!!! I’m learning more interesting Facts/Opinions/Theories then I did in grammar/middle/high school… oh yeah and some community college. You’re amazing!! ❤️
Sir, your videos always make me happy. I believe your thought process concerning this video seems believable to me.
This is great stuff. One of the many reasons I like it is because of your organized and clear explanations. At 49 years old I've become much worse at telling a story, following something I'm reading, or understanding directions. What sucks is that as a kid and teenager I was considered (at least it seemed this way from my peers and relatives treatment or me) a very good orator of what I saw, and I was detailed and accurate with what happened without losing the interest of the listener.
Also, there's logic here. That's far more rare these days when it comes to discussions about animals among the public, whether established or cryptids. There's no good excuse for it with the access everyone has through the internet, etc... but maybe the confusion provided by the sheer amount of regurgitated data is causing some to spit out whatever their emotions and bias' allow. Then we have to wade through to find something useful.
Anyway, this video is great.
Awesome presentation as always. Thank you.
Honesty is followed by bigfoot not to intervention in Humans life, As a tradition. Aboriginals and Bigfoot may have something unwritten treaty.... not to disturb eachother. And previously both are following. (Am not talking about modern people)
Im from wikkiwemikong in ont. And this is the 1st time ive learned about the 7 granfathers ..grwat vid.
It's good to see that your subscribers are growing
You're telling me, it gives me hope for this field. Bigfoot is not reserved for campfire stories.
If you have ever seen a bigfoot up close, and I have, you will never forget what you saw. When someone describes one the same way I have seen one, I know they have honestly seen one. At least the same variation of bigfoot that I saw.
Great video 🖤 Great channel 🖤
Biggest props I can give Bob is that this channel has turned straight up nonbelievers I know in to believers. No hyperbole or bullshit to be found when compared to other cryptid videos and channels.
Excellent. One of your best
I guess the Ojibwe and/or Sa'be would definitely call me 'very honest'... I have been duly honored.
That was cool Bob. More please.
great presentation. Its important to put this subject in context and you do a great job. We are all hoping for the next Patterson and Gimlin video capture.
I am OGCree Ojibway and cree also part Mohawk! I was told many stories which is way our way instead of writing! Also time of year is important when telling past down tale most tales have truths! Like sqaquatch is way my relatives and mother call sasquatch as u know him and myself! My home is Kenora Ontario Lake of the woods near Grassy narrows! Sasquatch would wander through reservation at night time and can speak they understand Ojibway and other old first nations language depending on living area! Like in Awkasanee reservation my Mohawk side! My cousin and aunty told me they seen sasquatch teleport like!!? A doorway like door opened sasquatch entered and aboy100ft away he appeared again from another doorway! And back to northern Ontario the windigo is well known! Wish I had more time! P.S he is A great spirit BigBrother if the woods protector as well!!!
I was recommended to come see your site, Was told we have very similar views on the Elders, Men of renown, Bigfoot! I studied them for 43 years and I will check out your videos, I have extensive knowledge on the subject so hopefully I can learn something and might teach you a few things as well, I have many facts and theories so hopefully we can talk soon... Smokenbull...
I'm a follower of the work of David Hawkins and his theories surrounding "Calibration of Consciousness." The human race on this planet, on average now calibrates at approximately 212, which is actually the highest we've collectively measured in a very long time. I calibrate the Sasquatch people at approximately 385, very much more mature and advanced than we are.
Like your take on honesty
amazing content very interesting. please give us more
+cedrick goodwin Thanks Cedrick, I have every intention of doing just that!
Wow! You made some good points thier Bob it really makes alot of sense , loved the video.
There's a lot of truth In the ancient legends - great very well made and interesting documentary - my imagination is spilling over trying to guess the Honesty/Bigfoot connection? - like David Paulides says " That's the million dollar question".....
How did I miss this video... this was probably my favorite of all and somehow I’ve missed it through 3 years of subliminal bingeing. hidden gem, a real berylstein bears vibe.
One of your best!
wonderful video keep them comming
I got more coming very soon my friend.
Awesome, thanks for the reply
Awesome article, ! I agree with your view on this!
Truly enjoy your work 😎 🕊
Native Americans have been in America for much longer then 13,000 years. I’ve been surrounded by natives my whole life. Many reservations in Northern California where I live. One of my best friends in the world is native and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to speak at lengths with tribal elders and ask as many questions as I could. Their oral traditions and history is beautiful and frankly a slap in the face to say that they’ve only been here 13,000 years. They where and have always been incredibly advanced in many ways, all but tech shit and the industrial revolution, but that is by choice. There’s too much respect in their culture for nature and the earth as a whole to pollute and strip the earth of its natural beauty. Bigfoot is no myth. From the stories I’ve heard there use to be a symbiotic relationship between Sasquatch and native tribes. But when Europeans arrived and started decimating the people and the land they basically went into hiding. Due to the intelligence and natural abilities of these creatures it is very easy for them to go undetected. I got all this secondhand but the people who gave me the information where so somber and serious of the topic. There was no talk of it being anything other than fact. There was a obvious difference between the creatures and any type of myth, legend or any type of tall tale. He explained it to me as if it where a bear or deer or some mundane animal you would see. Only difference was the intelligence and pure ability to go unseen and unnoticed. Unless it wanted you to know it was there. There is no question in my mind weather Sasquatch is a real creature. These are Tribal Elders who are extremely knowledgeable, trusted, respected and looked to for guidance not just through spiritual but real world problems. There not the type of people to tell a lie or a story for the sake of misguiding people.
2nd video of yours I've seen
New Subscriber Here!!
Maybe it's not a metaphor... maybe they literally don't steal. For me...if a nine-foot giant hairy man came in my house- he could have anything he wanted...
ha. maybe not anything but I see what you mean
What if there is a giant 9 foot , overly hairy man, looking up your RUclips addy. Wayne Norman? lol
wayne well it's stealing by proxy or with menaces but it's still stealing.I didn't know Sasquatch hung out with Italians 😱😱✌️.
Take my wife... please
You did it again another grate video and teaching my sinsay
Tina Tyler Are you sure you've subbed to me? I can always fly over on my jet and have a look and make sure you didn't make any mistakes!!!!!!?
The "Mastodon" you're showing there is actually an old illustration of the Elasmotherium.
mastodons are a kind of elephant like the mammoth, though a stiff legged bear... that sounds to me like the long legged Short Faced Bear, cause its gait could have been different than others it coexisted with
I find it very convincing that all the native tribes have their own word for Bigfoot and accept it as fact. The fact that western knowledge is based on a relatively mere 500 years experience compared to the 13,000 of the indigenous peoples is compelling and well made. The pronunciation of Llangernyw is understandably somewhat off the mark but most English would struggle too lol - good video
Mark Roberts The Cree call him Mih-Stah-pahyo. Meaning-big hairy man. Pronounce it like Meh staw pay o and your about as close as one can come to saying it correct as one who had never spoke the language.
Well put!.. I'm wondering.. Is"Western" knowledge an oxymoron??
Very interesting point plus I have not long come across the word sabe so it all makes sense now.
Great videos
Awesome video. Thank you.
Sabe was named for honesty because they were the ones that gave advice and taught the North American Natives how to live on the land.
When advice was needed the chief would select a few members of their tribes that each had one of the traits of the 7 fathers. They were then instructed by the chief where to travel, how long to travel and where to wait for the Sabe.
One year the tribes beet crops had failed to yield any beets. The chief hand picked 3 members of the tribe by the virtues they possessed and instructed them to journey for 7 days in a certain direction into the Forrest. On the 3rd night of their journey the men made camp. The 3 men were gathered by the fire but had left space for 2 or more visitors. Not long after the moon was highest in the sky 2 Sabe tribe members appeared out of the darkness of the Forrest and joined the 3 tribe members by the fire.
Without a word spoken a Sabe tribesman already knew the answers the men were seeking. Sabe spoke to the 3 men not with his voice but with his mind. He said “The fish in the small waters were sick and poisoned. These were the very fish the Native tribe used as fertilizer on their beet crop. They were instructed to go to the big water find a sand bar and catch 3 fish to fertilize each beet plant and their crop would recover in time for harvest. Then without words all 5 tribesman stood and bit each other safe journeys and love to each other’s tribes.
The following morning the 3 men started home but stopped at The big water they were instructed to go to by the Sabe. This was Lake Hurion (Pardon the spelling of its incorrect.)
The men caught their bounty of fish that day and were back home on the 7th day. They did as Sabe had instructed and fertilized each beet plant with 3 fish each.
At harvest their beet crop was the most bountiful crop they had ever grown.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of modern scientists disregarding many, many years of cultural knowledge because "lol primitive".
Love the fact you mentioned North Wales :) as I live there 🐉
honesty because what other animal has the capacity to understand a lie from the truth
Excellent video...
Wow! if he were wanting to fool people, he would have spelled it Gimlin. Nothing wrong with a pen name to help bring users to your channel. Moreover the videos are awesome brother. I haven’t subscribed yet, but I will. Keep up the great work.
Jonathan Newby thank you for getting my name, friend. Not trying to fool anyone. I thought it would be obvious that I’m not a 75 year old Texan... guess not.

Bob Gymlan is your name a pseudonym or your actual name?
I'm Anishinaabe, (Ojibwe, as the French called.) And where I live in upper-central Minnesota, upper Mississippi.
Hello Bob Gymlan this one is really interesting. I think it represents honesty because what’s more honest than Bigfoot chasing you out of his territory because he doesn’t like you. He doesn’t kiss your/our ass just to “get along with us”. He’s honest about what he thinks and/or feels.
First I would like to say this is a great channel! One point of grievance as a cultural anthropologist though is that while human settlements in North America go back thousands of years, we certainly do not have reason to think of these settlements as one long continuing culture, even when divided by region. There is significant archaeological and ethnographic evidence pointing to otherwise. It is similar to saying that Europeans have had a consistent culture for 15000 in Europe, which is obviously not true as cultures change and evolve. Great video!
