Between 7:30 and 8:30am Sunday a group of youngsters spotted a large creature and two small ones on the banks of the Moreau River. The young men, Wacey, Austin, Doyle, and Dustin Buffalo and Frances Montero, were out looking for their horses when they spotted the creatures on a cut bank near the old garbage dump. The boys hurried back home, returning with Vivian High Elk. "I had my doubts, but I went with them," commented Vivian. 'Vhen they reached the river no creatures were visible, but one of the boy's spotted a face looking out of some brush. They ran over to investigate, startling one of the creatures, two appearing to be adults and two young ones. The boys chased them up the river before they headed north, The adult creatures repoRTedly were dark brown with a lighter-colored fluff)' fringe around the face and a white or gray patch on the stomach. The)' had human or ape-like faces with oval eyes. The little ones were about the size of a ten Year old child and the adults were very tall, estimated at 8 foot. They had big arms and were furry all over. There were tracks of soMEe kind along the River bank and a place were something had run or walked in the river itself. The boys Reported that one of the creatures had been dragging some branches and dropped them in the river. There were some branches with green leaves in the river and evidence that they had been dragged to the water, with footprints along the path. The footprints we"e wide and longer than a human print, with no arch to the foot and six widespread toes.

SD TR24 Informant, a Lakota Sioux, comments that back on the Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota, 25 years 1968 ago, Bigfoot came to the house, "one night a few years back I heard this noise...a great big seven foot tall man, hairy...I gave him something to eat and he went on." The Lakota Sioux Indians called the beast "Si-yoko." Informant says that in 1910 a Catholic priest, Father Duechel, wrote a Lakota/English dictionary. "Sin had to do with "paw"; Siha, the sole of the foot; Si-oko, the spaces between the toes; and Si-yoko, referred to the mythical wicked "Big Bad Man." Parents 70. years ago used to scare the children with, "don't do that, or Siyoko will get you."
