Q. The Nantiinaq, pronounced 'non-tee-nuck', is the name given to an alleged group of Sasquatch that is believed to be responsible for the 1949 abandonment of the entire canning and fishing village of Port Chatham (or Portlock), located in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. Up until that time, many testimonials of unexplained deaths and disappearances were shared, i.e., “…stories would circulate about mutilated bodies that were swept down into the lagoon, torn and dismembered in a way that bears could not, or would not, do.” Sources state that upwards to a few dozen members of the community, mostly of those that had gone into the hills to hunt, had gone missing throughout the years leading up to 1949, and as more people moved out, those that remained finally followed suit by 1950.
Please look into the following two scenarios and share with us any of that you perceive:
1) Missing Persons: Simeon Kvasnikoff, a Port Graham Elder, recalls the disappearance of a gold miner that went missing after returning to his dig site. “He went up there one time and never came back. No one found any sign of him.”
2) Haunting of Portlock: Can you tune into what has been described as a “spirit of a woman (with a white face) dressed in draping black clothes that would come out of the cliffs (and disappear when approached)?”
Was Port Chatham truly being terrorized by the Nantiinaq, or was it simply a fishing and mining industry that succumbed to the changing of times? If the stories surrounding the Nantiinaq are in fact true, then why are they so aggressive and hostile towards humans? I believe I know the answer, but am interested in your insights on the matter! Thank you.

A. Thanks so much for the blog suggestion!
I do get that Sasquatch/ Bigfoot does exist in this part of the world. He/she can be found in most any wooded or remote area that hasn't been overtaken by city life. They thrive on nature and have a very endearing relationship with Mother Gaia. They feel protective of her, and their interdimensional ability allows them to frequent the 3D world while still being able to toggle back to the safe haven of the 4D. Sas doesn't like to be brutal, but is desperately trying to make an example of humans that are being purposely destructive. By treating humans with the ruthlessness that the humans are treating the land and the animals on it, they hope to make the humans pause for a moment and think about what they are doing.
In scenario 1, I do see that Sasquatch is responsible for the disappearance of this miner as well as many others in that area. People were, in Sasquatch's eyes, destroying the land for tangible/personal gain. This evokes a fury that is almost difficult to understand, and Sas felt it needed stopped. I get that Sasquatch cannot understand how any destruction of nature is worth the gold, minerals or resources procured.
In the second part of the question I wanted to look at the haunting. I get this being is highly integrated with Sasquatch. I sense she is a manifestation of Mother Gaia overlooking what the humans are doing, and what Sas is doing in response. My impression was that the humans were destroying the area and highly disturbing wildlife. She was trying to warn and ward them off so they didn't have to endure the fate that Sas was have for them. It was a warning to leave that place.
Very interesting story and piece of history! Thank you again for the suggestion!
Love and light, Lynn
