The Omah is a specific bigfoot-like creature from the pacific northwest in the United States of America. This statue was carved by Jim McClarin and stands at Willow Creek. Specifically, this creature appears often in stories told by the Hupa people of northern California. Ivan T Sanderson often used the term omah as a generic term for bigfoot creatures in this area.
In 1958, journalist Betty Allen was told by the Hupa that the omah was both a physical creature and a spirit. They were described as being large wildmen that were covered in hair and had a foul odor. The Hupa would say that omahs would fight if they were chased. They would roll boulders down hills or fight with enormous sticks. Some Hupa believed that the omah weren't seen as much after prospectors came to the area.
