Large footprint from Sayward site, Vancouver Island

The item is a colour photograph of a large footprint that was discovered near Sayward, Vancouver Island in 1993. The footprint is believed, by some, to have been created by a Sasquatch. Dr. Bindernagel investigated the site and created plaster casts of the tracks. The plaster cast created from the print is track number 4 and is housed in container 002340-2558.

Plaster casts of tracks from Vancouver Island

The item is a colour photograph of some plaster casts of some large footprints that were discovered near Sayward, Vancouver Island in 1993. The track is believed, by some, to have been created by a Sasquatch. The area was investigated by Dr. Bindernagel who created the cast. These are likely tracks numbered 4 and 5, in containers 002340-2558 and 002340-2559 respectively.

Bindernagel material

The collection consists of material created and collected by Dr. John Bindernagel as part of his research into the Sasquatch. A large part of the material is not original, but was collected by or given to him throughout the course of his career. The collection consists predominantly of four separate components. Some of the plaster casts that are unidentified in the photos are the same casts that have been donated. Although it is possible to speculate that the photographs were taken by Bindernagel, this is not confirmed.

The textual material contains eyewitness drawings and historical accounts of the Sasquatch as well as published material by John Green.

There are a many number of photographs, almost all of which have no identifying information provided on them. Many of the photos are of footprints and plaster casts which were taken by Bindernagel in British Columbia; but others have unknown provenance. There are some oversize laminated prints which are duplicates of those of footprints taken by Bindernagel on Vancouver Island. Additionally, there are some laminated prints of stills from the Patterson-Gimlin film of 1967.

The audiovisual material includes radio and television shows where Bindernagel was interviewed. There are also recordings made by Bindernagel that consist of unidentified noises on tape, some presentations he gave, as well as an interview with a couple recounting a possible Sasquatch encounter in British Columbia. Other audiovisual material includes other radio interviews, a copy of the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, and material created by other organizations. This material has not yet been digitized and therefore access is restricted until then.

Finally, there are 21 plaster casts of footprints. Tracks 1-6 were created by Bindernagel on Vancouver Island in 1988 and 1993; tracks 7-11 were not created by Bindernagel, but include information such as date, location and name of creator; tracks 12-21 are plaster casts that have no known provenance; however, some of these may be copies of those held by Idaho State University.

Queen of Angels School records

Series consists of records related to the Sisters' teaching mission at Queen of Angels School in Duncan.

Queen of Angels School opened in September 1964 as a partial replacement to the aging St. Ann’s Academy in Duncan. The school was built on land purchased by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate and was intended to be part of a ‘complete parochial plant’ which would contain a school, auditorium, church and rectory. Education of Indigenous children was integrated into the founding of the school, as the federal Indian Affairs Branch paid a percentage of the original construction cost. St. Ann’s Duncan was closed in June of 1964, and several of the Sisters transferred to Queen of Angels as teachers in the fall of that year.

The Sisters of St. Ann worked alongside priests and lay staff at Queen of Angels until their withdrawal in 1976. Sister Frieda Raab returned to the school as Principal in 1979 and resigned from the position in 1982.

The Sisters did not administer this school, and as such there is not as much documentation retained as with other Cowichan area schools. Records in this series include Prefect of Studies reports, staff evaluations, brochures, a letter to parents, sheet music and photographs.
