***A 6’6” indian?***

There was found in the Aztec NM ruins buried body of a very tall warrior. He was on display for years till the whiners got him removed. The last time I inquired about his whereabouts (1972), the ranger on duty said he was stored in the museum basement.

Natives, prior to the white man, were a very healthy people. It was written amongst the Europeans, who first met natives, that they were a very tall people.

6’6 should not be surprising.

They'll probably find that he has some Norwegian DNA in those bones...

The Karankawa Indians that used to inhabit the coastal areas of Texas were described as generally being between 6 and 7 feet tall. Really big guys, and the description of them was generally pretty fearsome.

Lots of Indians are tall, especially those on the northern plains. I worked one summer in a town in Montana that had a lot of Crow, Lakota, Blackfoot and Assiniboine Indians in it....and there were plenty of 7-footers visible. I'd say 6'6" was the average height of adult male Indians in that area.
