Native American language. Kraken, there isn't (to my knowledge) a compilation of all of the names.
I've been collecting some of the names for a blog on a similar vein to Mark's series which I will now foregone (acknowledging that Mark has done a better job than I could). What started my compilation was my research into the lives of the Leni Lenape Indians here in NJ. They too had many legends of a tall hairy man of the woods. here is my preliminary work for the now foregone blog... Nice Work Mark! Cheers,Seeker Call this a extension of my last “folklore†blog.

A collection of strange tales about British Columbia's wild men as told by those who say they have seen them.
Are the vast mountain solitudes of British Columbia, of which but very few have been so far, explored, populated by a hairy race of giants-men not ape-like men? Reports from time to time, covering a period of many years, have come from the hinderlands of the province, that hairy giants had been occasionally seen by Indian and white trappers in the mountain vastnesses, far from the pathway of civilization.

He was one of a kind. Not particularly worldly, Clayton Mack is portrayed as spirited, confident, one with the wilderness or as I call it, "he had back-country smarts" and was at home in the elements among nature's fiercest most unpredictable creatures, the grizzly bear, the black bear and the Boqs — Sasquatches.
He loved the British Columbian wilderness where he was known for 53 long years as the "greatest grizzly bear guide" in the world, something you have to respect if you know the Grizzly Bear. Hunters will love Mack's no nonsense-earthy approach to hunting. No answer though.
