I would hate myself if I didn't put in a plug for a friend's book series, Sci-Comedy genre.  In Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series, Bigfoot aren't native, they were dumped here by a different group of aliens that occasionally used them as slaves.  They also love garlic and you can effectively trade with them.  There are also Starfoot, who are used as slaves by the Commonwealth but have a planet of their own.  Since DB Cooper speaks their language, he and his grandson left earth to settle there and raise garlic fields.  All in all a rollicking funny series.  [[User:Seebert|Seebert]] ([[User talk:Seebert|talk]])
