Account
Rose Buffalo told Rob Alley that when she was a child she was riding in a wagon on what is now the David Thompson Highway when her uncle halted the wagon at Window Point (Presume Windy Point) and she saw a large man, covered with hair, standing in the middle of the road. Her aunt said it was a "M-(S)-Napeow" (big man) and threw a blanket over the children as her uncle wheeled the wagon around and went back.
