One of the earliest recordings of Bigfoot in the history of North America is recorded in a journal named Noticias de Nutka: An Account of Nootka Sound in 1792. It began in 1774 when an explorer from Spain discovered an inlet just off the coast of Vancouver Canada called Mowichat by the local Nootka tribe. 18 years later, in 1792 Spain’s Viceroy ordered an exploration of the Pacific Coast to make an ethnography of the natives who lived there. Among the group of explorers was a naturalist Jose Mariano Mozino. he chronicled the expedition in a journal. Mozino writes about a creature called the Matlog, who dwelled in the higher elevations in the mountains and terrorized the local tribe. The Matlog was described as having a large body covered with…show more content… The dynamic mark of the impressions agrees with various observer accounts noticing the smoothness of the walk showed by the Sasquatch. For instance, one witness expressed, "...it seemed to glide or float as it moved." Absent is the vertical wavering of the commonplace firm legged human step. The consistent stride decreases crest ground response powers, as well as keeps away from the convergence of weight over the heel and ball, and additionally builds the time of double support. Human walking is noted by an extended stiff-legged striding gait with distinct heel-strike and toe-off phases. Bending stresses in the digits are held low by selection for relatively short toes that participate in propulsion at the sacrifice of prehension. The efficiency of muscle action during distance walking and running are maximized by reduced mobility in the tarsal joints, a fixed longitudinal arch, elastic storage in the well-developed calcaneal tendon, plantar aponeurosis and deep plantar ligaments of the foot (Meldrum, Evolution of Alleged Sasquatch Footprints and their Inferred
