(2,167 posts)watched a few documentaries on it. Apparently the giants were cannibals and preyed on the natives there.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to reports of Northern Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah, Saiduka or Sai'i[1] (sometimes erroneously referred to as Say-do-carah or Saiekare[2] after a term said to be used by the Si-Te-Cah to refer to another group) were a legendary tribe who the Northern Paiutes fought a war with and eventually wiped out or drove away from the area, with the final battle having taken place at what is now known as Lovelock Cave near Lovelock, Nevada, United States. They had red hair, and are often (though not always) described as having been cannibals. In some versions of the legend they were giants. In 1911, a large amount of artifacts and mummified human remains were discovered under three to six feet of guano by guano miners in Lovelock Cave.[3]
Although the cave had been mined since 1911, miners did not notify authorities until 1912. The miners destroyed many of the artifacts, but archaeologists were still able to retrieve 10,000 Northern Paiute artifacts from the cave. Items included tule duck decoys, nets, a pair of sandals, and baskets, several dating back over 2,000 years.[4]
