In this video we read from "Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims," by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, published all the way back in 1883. This tells of the Pyramid Lake War that broke out in 1860 between the Piutes and the white settlers near Genoa, Nevada. It also tells the Piute legend of the red-haired cannibalistic people whom the Piutes exterminated several hundred years before this book was written.

Bone Tomahawk
The Iroquois had a custom of either adopting prisoners of war, or eating them. Those selected for adoption were painted red. Those designated for dinner were painted black.
Unless his plane went down over the ocean, in which case he was eaten by many fish.
ICJ is going to go after their a@@. They should have respected their culture and continued to submit to being eaten. Piutes are racists.
When Magellan sailed thru Patagonia they witnessed giants.
It was chronicled by Pigafetta.

I’m at least 1/4 American Indian, and I have essential tremor. Tremor is caused by amyloid tangles along brain motor and sensory nerves. The tangles are the result of an autoimmune response to a prion attack. Think “mad cow disease”.

These prions can be either inherited, contracted by eating infected meat, or both.
There are several Biblical accounts of giants, too.
Did you hear about the cannibal? He passed a friend in the jungle.
The explorer Verrazzano was killed and eaten by Caribs, a year after his voyage exploring what is now the east coast of the United States.
The Donner party and lifeboat stories have nothing to do with the actual cannibalism that people practice as part of their culture.
“Patagonia” means “big foot.” IIRC, it’s from the footprints the Spanish encountered.
It’s good to be humorous around cannibals. They won’t eat you if they think you might taste funny.
accusing ‘others’ of being cannibals, i.e, demonizing them, was probably the excuse used down generations to rationalize why a competing group was hunted to exterminaton by invading ‘indians’.
‘giants’ weren’t that unusual in pre-historic Europe and still aren’t that unusual in Africa - the Tutsi, Maasai and Dinka are the most commonly known, but there are other tribes throughout Africa that are also very tall, especially next to a 5’5” european male or 5’8” Plains Indian in the 1500’s to 1600’s. Gauls-Celts and Germanic tribes were tall and often red-haired. The Maasai are also known for their red hair. American Indians obviously weren’t the first to cross the Bering Bridge since their own fireside stories do tell of preexisting humans. So it doesn’t seem that farfetched to imagine that other ‘giants,’ some with red hair, existed not only within the African continent but throughout Europe.

Yes, Goliath being one of the more recognized names.
However there were accounts of giants elsewhere mentioned, too.
you are correct!
"Lovelock, Nevada, is about eighty miles northeast of Reno. It was in a cave near here, in 1911, that guano miners found mummies, bones, and artifacts buried under four feet of bat excrement. The desiccated bodies belonged to a very tall people - with red hair.
I’m sensing bigotry against redheads and I want my reparations.
This list left out the Karankawa along the Texas coast. There were Choctaw in parts of Louisiana besides our homelands in Mississippi. However, we traveled very carefully in the hinterlands of Louisiana and never along the Texas coast. Karankawa would eat you if they caught you.
Lots of modern “scholarship” has been trying to dispel the cannibalism of the Karanawa. However, the stories of man-eaters along the Texas coast is very old and embedded within the stories of other tribes.
We kill our young but do not eat them. Much more civilized.
Maybe we should eat them...moms and dads first of course.
