Plot

The story is essentially a vignette, set in August 1979, spotlighting the Sasquatch Jefferson State Governor Bill Williamson's meeting/photo-op with the Yeti Lama of Tibet, who has been living in-exile in Jefferson ever since China's Invasion of Tibet in 1959. The story gives a quick sketch of Jefferson's history and comparatively open culture, and hints at the broad role sasquatches have played in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
