Tree structures:
Tree structures are found throughout Alaska's Boreal and Sub-Boreal Forested areas. They're often attributed to Sasquatch behavior by many researchers. Some of the structures can easily be explained due to extreme weather, natural rot, or disease (Alberta Sasquatch, 2018). However, some structures appear too complex to be random acts of nature. These include large diameter trees broken from their roots and set in place. Other features show a pattern of construction including appearing to be "woven" in place.
There can be multiple possible meanings to the structure including marks of aggression, territorial boundaries, hunting blinds or ambush sites. Some of the structures resemble crude shelters suggesting short term use. Some Native American and First Nation Elders have eve suggested some tree structures could also commemorate the birth of a new member of a Sasquatch family (Alberta Sasquatch, 2018). Tree structures are not positive proof of Sasquatch activity or even of its existence, but they sure are interesting.

Cranberry Cache:
On 17SEP2017, some cranberries were discovered on a tree stump by hunters. At first glance, the hunters considered it to be squirrel cache. However, upon further observation it was noted that the berries were not protected or hidden from view as a regular animal’s food cache would be. While it is possible that a squirrel could have placed the berries in such a manner, it would not be a normal behavior. A squirrel just does not place a handful of low bush cranberries in a depression in a partially decomposed tree stump in the manner in which they were observed. Placement by other animals was considered, but once again, it would not be a normal behavior. A bird, martin, weasel or even a bear would be eating the berries from the bush instead of taking time to gather them and place them in a depression.
All members of then hunting party described having the feeling of being watched as they passed through the area. The hunters were under the impression that they may have interrupted a Sasquatch that had been gathering berries as they approached the area since the berries and a couple of leaves were not wilted. They believed that the berries were placed there to be retrieved when the hunters departed the area.
