The Nuk-luk ("Man of the Bush") is a cryptozoological hominid sighted at Nahanni Butte, Northwest Territories, between April and June of 1964, by John Baptist, several men, and a boy named Jerry. Indians from the Fort Liard who were trapping at a river came upon the creature in April of 1964. It was strong looking, and had a long, dark beard, wore no clothes, and was 5 ft (~1.5 m) tall. In June of 1964, near Fort Simpson at around 9 p.m. a boy named Jerry saw a similar creature. It had black hair on its head, upper body, and legs, and a black head, slightly pointed at the back. It also had a long, brown beard that reached its waist, and wore ankle-high boots, a mooseskin loincloth, and had a stone club in its hand. They have been reported for hundreds of years and are said to have bootlike footprints and whistling calls. They have been reported from the Northwest Territories to Yukon Territory, to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
