I am Apache Indian from Pima tribe. Salt river in Arizona. My grandfather told me stories on how many tribes ban together to fight these red hair giant at luvlock they were up to 14 ft tall and great fighter they ate human flesh . The cave is documented with this battle.. you can visit the site . But also no one talks about it. Smithsonian hides the truth

I recall hearing a story about how the Smithsonian supposedly hired 2 guys to take boxes of bones and go dump them in the ocean. That tall tale makes no sense. If the museum wanted to get rid of bones, they could just grind them up. Why would they hire witnesses to go dump them in the ocean??

The Tongva-Gabrielino, Chumash, and other native people of California have so many stories and experiences that need to be shared. Everything from native legends/folklore/history to their trials and tribulations of their people after the Europeans arrived.

I use to bow hunt on this island in the 1970's. Mostly on the North side of the island. There was a lot of Spanish Goats, wild boars, dove and rattle snakes. And a lot of cactus and costal cliffs. In the middle island there was buffalo brought there by a film maker in the early 1900's. And on the South Island it was more grassy with many deer. It was a good place to scuba dive too with some ship wrecks and a place called the wall. It got very hot in the summer but me and some friends always went every year for a adventure and good time. There was some guides that use to drive us around the island and we flew there by sea plane that landed in the middle inlet where the guides would pick us up and take us to some make shift tent like camps with a fire pit for cooking. I have seen some rock drawings too and old camp like sites.

@@rubenestrada7095 I looked online. It seems that the controversy is rooted in racism. Like all things in the U.S. In the 1800s, people believed that an ancient white giant race were wiped out by Native Americans. And they pretended that those were the real builders of the monuments and so of course, they had to be white in their minds. So they used this belief as justification for the wiping out of Native Americans. Retribution I guess. In the following years, they found no evidence of giants. But I can see why the stories persist. Thats disappointing because it would be awesome for an ancient hominid to be found in the Americas. The reality is that if there was a giant population, they would be like the Neanderthals and Denosovians, not necessarily people of European ancestry. Neanderthals may have had light skin but they weren’t white Europeans. And these so called giants wouldn’t be likely to be the builders of all the monuments. Building monuments is a human thing.

Historically, Darwin's theory of evolution, by natural selection does not agree that these tall blond hair, blue eyed Indians existed, through his evolution process. Darwin's theory as it is written, allows for the natural selection and disposal of such, being that it does not agree with Darwin's Theory, Therefore; Society has the right to disposal of the Blond haired Indians and allows their non-existance. In my view, Darwin's Theory is "HOG WASH", and should have never been adopted by the science community as fact. Now, as a result these Aztec/Mexican/Spanish indigenous Indians think they have the right to remove and destroy the evidence of these beautiful blond haired tall Indians, That have existed for over 30 thousand years according to carbon dating. These Beautiful Tall blond, blue eyed Indians were here on Catalina Island and the other surrounding Islands, before any other race, period. Basically, this is called discrimination in the highest degree, when one race insists the Tall blond hair, blue eyed race does not exist. Sounds like Hitler, saying that the Jews don't exist under Darwin's theory. Therefore; they can be ruled under law, to be removed forever, because they don't fit in, according to the indigenous Indian's and Darwin's theory. This is the argument! Also, Ralph Glidden was NOT recognized as an Archeologist and therefore his finding's were removed from the Smithsonian and discredited!

I am surprised people would think that giants couldn't exist. The Earth used to be much different, much more full of life, more air more CO2, more atmosphere perhaps, massive creatures we can only try to imagine, from fossils, etc.. Just makes sense to me, that where so many and so much life evolved then, "people" with our two legged form, some would have had to be large, to compete. Others small who could hide. Its' odd to me anyway, that people can not even imagine life before, with "human" appearing life forms.

You're right we had giant armadillos, giant slothes bigger than Grizzly bears, we had giant manatees the size of whales. Giant Cats, Dogs, Giant flightless birds, Mammoths which were larger than Elephants. And most of the creatures only went extinct in the last couple thousand years. Most ancient human lore across a lot of cultures talks about giants, or some big foot type of humanoid creature and evolutionarily speaking theirs a good chance at least one would exist.

Its very similar to the stone circles found in the Golan Heights. Odd, since Old Testament texts claim that Joshua and his men drove Giants out of the Levant and there are references that indicate that some fled by sea and some fled north. Then 2000 years later you have Diodorus the Roman historian documenting encounters with Roman battalions and Giants in what is now Germany, parts of Britannia and Sardinia. Then you have Native American oral traditions and Peruvian legends that BOTH date the arrival of long necked, cone headed giants to the Americas 3,000 years ago.

Polynesians went to south America, so it's logical we went to the coast of California as well. Matter of fact, the chumash have a similar name for their canoe as well, calling it tomolo'o similar to kumula'au Hawaiian for canoe. The construction is similar as well.

[@eslnoob191]

There is no conclusive evidence that the Polynesians ever reached South America (and there is zero evidence whatsoever that they reached North America), although there is interesting evidence of a small amount of admixture between a tribe from the coast of Columbia and the Polynesians that reached as far east as the Tuamotu Archipelago. This topic is covered extremely well by Stefan Milo, who is a professional anthropologist and not a crackpot like a lot of KZbin channels. An interesting explanation he put forth (and the one that seems most compelling to me) is that it's possible a very small group of Native Americans somehow reached what is now French Polynesia, either exploring or accidentally in some disaster that found a few of them carried out on their boats by strong currents. It is unlikely that the Polynesians reached the coast of South America (and no one is seriously arguing that they reached North America). There was really only a short period of history when the Polynesians were really rapidly expanding across the Pacific, and then they stopped. There just aren't enough islands along the way that could have supported them on such a long and hazardous voyage. Even if they did reach South America, they couldn't have survived there as they would have found themselves in a very different environment that was already populated by people who were there before them.

The so-called aliens are just fallen angels appearing to each man in the form that is most acceptable to the human witness. For some, they are aliens like the greys; for others, they are ghosts of dead relatives; for others they are dog-men, sasquatch, or moth-man; for others, angels, religious images, or Mary.

Since the Navy sanitized, San Clemente, San Nicolas, and used San Miguel, a place where Juan Cabrillo might lie buried, as practice bombing runs up in til the late 1970’s, I don’t think we will find much, unless deeply buried on any of those islands, except the ones which were privately held, (Santa Cruz, parts of Santa Rosa, Santa Catalina), except Santa Rosa, the one with the most interesting findings, which had a Nike Cold War base on the SW side of the Island.

[@dannyaldama5228]

There is a scientist who did that. He shaped Black peoples skull to monkeys and that is where that non sense of revolutionary theory came into place due to Racial Scientific research.

In some ancient lore, California was a island, the legend of Califia(something like that). Was inhabited by tall women warriors

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Fascinating video; thanks for posting. I used to live in that area. I'm sorry if someone told you the Name of the Island is pronounced Cat-a-leaner, there is no r. I'm so glad you were able to have a tribal member in your video. I have property near where the Lovelock Giants were found.

[@roberts4411]

Wow. So by your u tube name and the fact your watching thus video I assume you have and do some digging or research on the island ? Find anything interesting ? Where the giants were found were they in mounds similar to mounds found inland ?

Brits sometimes add an 'r' when a word ends in the 'uh' sound, if it's followed by a word that starts with a vowel. Example: "Brenda and I" would be spoken as "Brendar and I". If you notice at 1:30, he doesn't do that.

Hello cowboy geologist! I am a los angeles native coming to catalina next month to explore anything ancient or geology related. Any suggestions on what i should check out??? Can i come camping on your property for a night or two? ❤

[@lindasue8719]

Adding the R is a British dialect. My ex always used to call me Linder 😊

[@cowboygeologist7772]

@@lindasue8719 thanks for sharing. I am Native American on both sides and it drives us crazy white Americans will change your name no matter what you tell them. Ex: If you say your name is Thomas, they will repeat with, nice to meet you Tom. Or if you say Tom, they will call you T. Say your name is Tom, they will call you Thomas. Did you ever correct him your name isn't Linder? I love Doc Martin and noticed sometimes they call Louisa by Louiser, but not every time.
