Turtle Island and the Tradition of Giants

• Covers the secret history of an ancient race of giants that inhabited the Americas long before European contact

• Presents accounts of these beings from Native American sources, legends, and oral traditions, correlated with archeological reports

• Examines the Smithsonian's role in covering up records of the skeletal remains of giants in the Americas, looking particularly at John Wesley Powell and Ale? Hrdlicka

Writer and researcher Ross Hamilton uses Indigenous voices, beliefs, and oral traditions to reconstruct the origin and secret history of an ancient race of giants that inhabited the continent long before European contact with the Americas.

Hamilton reaches deep into North American antiquity to identify a people originally from the Arctic known as the Tall Ones. These beings lived alongside the tribes of the Americas and even bred with them. As he uncovers the story, Hamilton presents the ancient Turtle Island culture of the nation of Manitouba, a once-great civilization that stretched across much of the contemporary United States and Canada and maintained an advanced system of arts and sciences before being called back to the mysterious North.

Along with examining the ways in which archaeological history was suppressed by premier American institutions such as Harvard and the Smithsonian, Hamilton revisits critical primary sources, including the Lenape accounts made by early American missionary John Heckewelder. With this research and the contributions of tribal elder Vine Deloria Jr., Hamilton unpacks long-misunderstood Indigenous myths and history to reveal a time when Earth met sky and men walked with gods.
