A cool article about real giants that once lived in North America.

Link HERE
The Paiute, the tribe nestled in the Nevada region, have the ancient legend of Si-Te-Cah, the red haired giants. In their language Si-Te-Cah implies Tule-eaters. In accordance with the legend the giants came from a distant island, fabricated by the Tule plants. The giants were spreading terrorism on the tribes by devastating them. In order to combat with them, the tribes united against them and chased them off. The giants in turn took shelter in a cave. Taking this opportunity the tribes put a fire at the entrance of the cave, thus suffocating them alive.

An interesting read, but it definitely raised more Qs than it answered, and makes me wonder if the Giants were really real, or just created for a circus ;)
