I remember seeing a giant warrior skeleton back in 1955 at Aztec Ruins, NM. He was said to be over seven feet tall.
The park service have removed his skeleton due to whining by Indians in the late 1960s. Last I heard it was stored in the basement of the Aztec Ruins welcome center.
You used to find post cards with the photo on it. I now can’t find one anywhere.
I remember hearing about that giant skeleton at Aztec.
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.
