Sioux Indian, probably female, helping at vision quest in Red Fox Camp in Bear Butte State Park, on the Cheyenne side. Alone in camp saw 7-foot creature come over a ridge 100 yards away. Dropped eyes and apparently did not see it again, but felt it had pulled on the back of her t-shirt. Northern Cheyenne elders said no big deal, often seen. Camp in pine forest area, high up.
