How Did Bigfoot Connect to the Indian Massacre in Red Dead Redemption 2?

During your playthrough, you may stumble upon a drunk camper. If you listen to his story, you will find out that he participated in an Indian massacre years back.

It is inspired by a real life event, which took place in 1890, nine years before the events of the game. The US army came to the wounded knee to disarm a Lakota tribe camp.

A deaf native American named Black Coyote refused to give up his weapon. At one point the rifle went off, and the US Army started shooting hurdering the Indians one by one.

Inside of the school you can find an English spelling practice, First letters of these words spell out a message with reference to the real life event.

"Father fought and died so quickly" this line refers to the fact that most of the Lakota men were already disarmed and were gunned down instantly.

"Mother Dies slow" this one to the fact that most of the Lakota women and children were wounded during the battle. In result, some died a slow death and some were finished off by the US soldiers after the shootout Waziya. In the Laktoa's beliefs, is a giant who comes during the winter and brings famine and diseases.

Out of many Lakota gobs, this one was probably chosen for game because the real event took place on 29th of December during winter.

"This trees stand guard whispering all night that we sleep in our grave" this line is quite interesting, as it mentions "His trees". At first glance, it looks like a reference to the whispering trees in Roanoke.

But these already have a backstory to them and have nothing to do with the fort aiggs massacre.

There are a few trees near Ownjila that could tie in with this mustery.

These three have native American faces carved onto them.

I'm not sure what the fourth carving might refer to if you have any theories. If you look closely you'll notice that the last one shows the face of a bigfoor. You will notice that the human faces are carved more or less at John's height.

While the bigfoor one is noticeably higher, probably a nod to his height. This could be a seperate easter egg, or maybe the Indian tribe really did call him "Waziya".

Rockstar is fond of putting bigfoor easter eggs in their games lately so it makes sense they would put one in RDR2 as well.

There's also a different way of looking at it. It could be a face of giant, as waiya himself is described as one.

These are the two giants you can find in the game.

And if you turn around, you'll notice that this face is staring directly at both of them. So this carving's purpose could be to give you an idea of what the other giants looked like.
