The modern myth of America alludes to a bipedal ape-like species that predominantly haunts the Pacific North West rain forest, except that it is both an ancient and modern myth. The Native Americans have as many names for it as there are tribes. It is a myth that strangely connects to another, thousands of miles away, that is equally as old as it is modern - the Yeti at the roof of the world, the abominable snowman of the Himalayas. The Yeti Society is about the believers and the witnesses, it's about the non-believers, the naysayers and sceptics, but it's also about us.
