Monkey Beach Sasquatches???

I don't really know why they included sasquatches into this book. It is more or less irrelevant and doesn't even qualify for a sub-plot. The book just refers to them in one of the chapters. I thought this was a very dull part in the book. It didn't suggest anything about Native Canadians culture. Actually, it might have suggested that Lisa's parents were drunks and they had problems with their kids because they were seeing things. Sasquatches have never had any actual proof of existence, so I think that this should have been omitted from the novel.
