Sioux Indians Tell of a Former Giant Race Destroyed by The Great Spirit

                      Sioux Indians Tell of a Former Giant Race Destroyed by The Great Spirit

History of Fremont County, Iowa - 1881

     In 1875 a huge human skeleton was unearthed at a brick-yard about one mile east of Hamburg at a depth of fourteen feet from the surface of the earth. The bones were for the most part in an advanced state of decay but the teeth were well preserved. The remains are believed to be those of a giant at least eight feet in height. The teeth were worn down almost to the jaw-bone, which fact indicated that the "mighty men of renown" must have lived in the days mentioned by the old Indians who formerly lived in the vicinity of Hamburg. "Long ago," said they, "our fathers used to ride across the Missouri river here on their ponies, for the water was very shallow. The eastern margin of the river then was at the foot of the high bluff (at Hamburg) and the river itself was very wide. But there were so many bad men among our fathers in those days and they engaged in so many wars that the Great Spirit cursed the waters of the river (the Missouri) and caused it to run in a narrower and deeper channel, so that the tribes, could not cross and fight and kill one another. After that our fathers lived till their feet were worn off with walking and their teeth worn down with eating." Many other bones of extinct giant animals and men have been found in the same locality where the skeleton before was described."

Stonish Giants, engraving by David Cusick from Sketches of the Ancient History of the Six Nations, 1828

     David Cusick, David Cusick was born around 1780, probably on the Oneida reservation in upstate New York. David Cusick’s Sketches of Ancient History of the Six Nations (1828). This is an early (if not the first) account of Native American history and myth, written and published in English by an Indian. Cusick wrote that among the legends of the ancient people of the stock, there was a powerful tribe called Ronnongwetowanca. They were giants, and had a "considerable habitation." When the Great Spirit made the people, some of them became giants. After a time, and having endured the outrages of these giants, it is said that the people banded together, and through the final force of about 800 warriors, successfully annihilated the abhorrent Ronnongwetowanca. After that, it was said that there were no giants anywhere. This was supposed to have happened around 2,500 winters before Columbus discovered America, around 1000 BC.

Burial Place of Giants is Uncovered by Rains
    Douglas, Arizona, Nov. 25 - Recent heavy rains in the vicinity of Reddington, near here, have uncovered the burial grounds of a race of giant people who are thought to have lived thousands of years ago, according to August Enley, a miner, who has been employed in the Reddington district.
   Ealey described parts of skeletons recovered from the cemetery and declared that the stature of the race must have been twice that of the average man today.  One skull showed a thickness of about one inch.  Ali said, and was in a state of perfect preservation.  Pieces of pottery, ear-rings, remains of charcoal fires and other evidences uncovered by the rains has led Ealey to report the discovery to the state university with the hope that a more intimate investigation would be made of the burial ground.
