The Iroquois, the Osage, the Tuscaroras, the Hurons, the Omahas, and many other North American Indians all speak of giant men who once lived and roamed in the territories of their forefathers. All over what is now the U.S. are traditions of these ancient giants. Over 1000 accounts of seven-foot and taller skeletons have reportedly been unearthed from ancient burial sites over a two-hundred-year period in North America. Newspaper accounts, town and county histories, letters, scientific journals, diaries, photos and Smithsonian ethnology reports have carefully documented this. These skeletons have been reported from coast to coast with strange anatomic anomalies such as double rows of teeth, jawbones so large as to be fit over the face of the finder, and elongated skulls, documented in virtually every state.
Smithsonian scientists identified at least 17 skeletons that stood at over seven feet in their annual reports, including one example that was 8 feet tall, and a skull with a 36-inch circumference reported from Anna, Illinois in the Smithsonian Annual Report of 1873, (an average human skull is about 20 inches in circumference). The Smithsonian Institution is mentioned dozens more times as the recipient of enormous skeletons from across the entire United States. The skeletons mentioned no longer seem to exist regardless of their actual size, and the remaining ones that were on display were removed and repatriated by NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act). While the authors certainly support this law, it does present a moral and ethical conundrum in terms of trying to ascertain the proof everyone wants to see - physical evidence of giants...

I have always been interested in these tales from the Paiutes of Northern Nevada...
The Vikings got around more than accepted history indicates.
“Makes you wonder how much history has been intentionally buried - For Our own ‘good’”
Most of it (buried, burned, smashed, misfiled, hidden, ignored) - anything that does not fit the meme of the zeitgeist, or disrupts those invested in that meme. The Egyptian Old Kingdom is an excellent example.
Actually not. There are stone carvings to the claimed effect. how genuine they are is anyone’s guess. And that was dinosaur bones, not mammoth bones.
Somebody got around, that’s for sure. We have the Spirit Cave Man in the Nevada Museum that is 9000+ years old, with caucasian features.
Yes. The Tribal US Indians have a vested interest in burring all this evidence - their claim is that they were created here - obvious falsehood, but not in law.
As long as that stands, they get to claim all sorts of special exemptions - that are not permitted to any other citizen - this legality only applies to recognized tribes and only to the ones actually residing on that reservation.
(Special exemptions on reservation include, Special Master status in the Pac NW; using your private property for their personal gain; pay no income tax; hunting and fishing when, were, and any quantity desired; selling fireworks and selling cigarettes both with no state or federal tax; timber checks; special welfare benefits; congressional payouts to specific tribes {it all goes to the ruling families, not the peons}; whale hunting; bald eagle hunting; selling ivory from their kills.)
Most US Indians do not reside on reservation as they are nice hard working people that do not want special privileges based on race, unlike their brethren. Many Indians still believe in good and bad magic - it is an axiom of non-reservation Indians that the practitioners of black magic all reside on reservations.
Makes one wonder if all the giant remains were destroyed because the presence of these remains flies in the face of the “evidence” for evolution.
Evolution is the current meme. No one in ‘authority’ wants the peons (us) to imagine that anything is even slightly different, else they could and likely would lose control. Loss of control = loss of power - not good from their collective perspective.
According to an Indian gal I once dated, Smithson collected as much pre-settlement artifacts which did not fit as he could (including giant remains) and placed them in the basement of the institution named after him. He was married to an Indian Princess and had a vested interest in making nice with the tribes. There was more but I no longer remember.
