This is bizarre, I thought this was a 70s fad. I heard this on CBC radio last night.

Natives yesterday reported big foot tracks found in northern Ontario. 14 inches long, 5 inches wide, 6 feet apart.

The band chief said that they were definitely not bear tracks, and that the person who noticed the tracks also had a stick thrown at him at one point.

Their lore tells them that if you leave them alone, they won't bother you. So having a stick thrown at him, the native left and went back to report to his chief.

Staff from the provincial equivalent of Parks Canada also saw tracks, a few miles away. The band chief says that the government staff took pictures of the tracks they saw.

The chief's attitude was that this isn't a big deal, they had track sightings in the 50s as well. "But it's sure important to all the media people who called me today", he said.
