According to the Paiutes, the Si-Te-Cah were a red-haired band of cannibalistic giants. The Si-Te-Cah and the Paiutes were at war, and after a long struggle a coalition of tribes trapped the remaining Si-Te-Cah in Lovelock Cave. When they refused to come out, the Indians piled brush before the cave mouth and set it aflame. The Si-Te-Cah were annihilated.
Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, daughter of Paiute Chief Winnemucca, wrote about what she described as “a small tribe of barbarians” who ate her people in her book Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims – she wrote that “after my people had killed them all, the people round us called us Say-do-carah. It means conqueror; it also means “enemy.” “My people say that the tribe we exterminated had reddish hair. I have some of their hair, which has been handed down from father to son. I have a dress which has been in our family a great many years, trimmed with the reddish hair. I am going to wear it some time when I lecture. It is called a mourning dress, and no one has such a dress but my family.”

I wonder if the hair could still be genetically tested or it has probably been too thoroughly contaminated. I wonder if these giants were BF related or Nephilim. Didn’t the Smithsonean Museam end up with the remains where as now- no one knows where they are, like so many other Nephilim remains that were taken in the same fashion from the Earthen Mounds through out the midwest….

Many of the possible sasquatch remains taken from Indian burial grounds have been repatriated with the tribes and interned in the ground. According to Ray Crowe the Mark Twain Museum in Virginia City, Nevada had a 7’4” skeleton with some remaining wisps of red hair on the skull that was repatriated with the tribe in 1992.

The problem with most of the remains the Smithsonian Museum and others had was that they had to “repatriate” them to the tribes and no one got samples/data before they did that… something them being on tribal land – repatriate them. That is what one museum told me, anyway. Some are “lost” in the archives, (sounds like something a bunch of volunteers in that area should help them clean up to me), and the others are “not for display except to accredited people). I think that is a major problem for we as US citizens, but no one seems to want to wade into the mess.
Looking forward to this – I love the “Lovelock Cave” stories.

Hate to be this guy—but there’s an episode (podcast) of Skeptoid that throughly debunks this whole thing. It’s really not that complicated even, guys… it was just a cave that had some artifacts, which was known for a long time and only brought to museums later. So….eh.
Knobby
Alexander F, there are always debunkers of absolutely everything sasquatch related. I believe the following article should counter whatever episode (podcast) of “Skeptiod” that you refer to.

Good job Knobby, the Indian girl also wrote an account from the 1800’s about the red haired cannibals. Unless these debunkers have a time machine to go back to call her a liar, then they are with all the other deniers. I call them the “flat earthers”…

Oh my … I am so ready for this one…!!!

I recalled seeing a video that M.K. Davis did about LOVE LOCK CAVE. It’s been a long time since I have seen it but he explained how there was a big lake that came right up near the cave’s opening. All his other details were just as the above video discribes. I think the friend that was with him was John Green. Am I wrong on this? Maybe someone remembers. Thanks.
Knobby
Janetta, the article I linked to included a video by MK Davis talking about the hand print found in the cave. Its a good video.

Wow, that hand print is 18 inches across! Makes me think that it is a Nephilim giant hand print and not a BF. the Bible says just like the man states, “there were giants in those days”….

American Indians are great people who truly understand the planet and I have a ton of respect for them in many ways. But they have beliefs that certain lakes used to be people and mountains that were people who fell from the sky so at times some stories have to be truly confirmed. I know Sasquatch exist not saying they don’t but this field has enough credibility issues as does the other million things that are covered up. Personally I love the encounters from hunters and loggers and outdoorsman, people like that who didn’t belive until they ran into one.

People can stomp this claim I know something’s going on where that cave is cause they keep you out what ya hiding?

The existence of giants is plausible. Before the last ice age ended, atmospheric conditions were such that megafauna roamed the planet. There were 8-foot long salmon, beavers as big as bears, mammoths, bears as big as elephants, saber-tooth cats and numerous other very large species. There is no reason that humans could not have also grown very large. I’m a believer in what’s called the “Antediluvian Civilisation”, an idea forwarded by Graham Hancock and many others. What I think happened was that these giants were the last remnants of the old ice age civilisation who were ultimately dispersed and tried to spread their knowledge wherever they went. There are legends all over the world, from Egypt to South and Central America of tall, red-haired people who “walked across water as easily as land” who taught science, mathematics, astronomy and other pillars of civilisation to the natives they encountered. They were also said to have put an end to human sacrifice and to have magical powers; what primitive people may have thought was magic was actually technology. Anyway, all the similarities between the Annunaki, Viracocha, Quetsoloquatl, etc are just too obvious to ignore. The pieces gathered from the stories of giants and the stories of the Antediluvian Civilisation fit together too neatly to be just a coincidence.

would also like to say that if giant humans were \are pausible, then large apes are plausible and most likely .
