(Unworthy History) Aug. 3, 2024: In this video we read from Life Among the Paiutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, published in 1883. It tells of the Pyramid Lake War that broke out in 1860 between the Paiutes and the white settlers near Genoa, Nevada. It also tells the Paiute legend of the red-haired cannibalistic people exterminated by the Paiutes several hundred years before the book was written.

  • There were Spaniards who came to what is now the USA in post-Columbian times. One such Conquistador or scout was the captain of a ship who produced written documentation (ship's log) of sighting an interacting with these red-haired giants. In on curious incident, a massive young girl was spotted and tracked with the intention of abducting her and kidnapping her back to Europe. Armed men followed her from shore to her house, where they had a run in with her father, who was much bigger. They abandoned the plan, ran back to the ship, and observed the parents angry on the shore as they departed. These written documents must still exist for review.
Wonderhussy investigates Lovelock Cave

(Wonderhussy Adventures) Oct. 25, 2023: Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #756. Date of adventure: Oct. 11, 2023. If you get arrested at Burning Man, they'll bring you to jail in Lovelock. It's better to explore this remote cave in northern Nevada without cops. Here, back in 1911, a couple of bat guano (fertilizer) miners discovered the mummified body of a 6'6" red headed man. The local Paiutes were not red headed, nor were they that tall. So who was this mummy, and where did he come from? Could he have been a descendant of Viking [or Irish or Nordic or Extraterrestrial] explorers?

Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims
Life Among the Paiutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims
Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins (4.3 out of 5 stars with 25 ratings). This 1883 book by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins is an autobiographical account of the Paiute people during their first 40 years of interaction with European-American invaders/settlers. The author was the daughter of the Paiute Chief Winnemucca and was raised in the area that is now western Nevada.

Born about 1841 into a tribe that -- at that time -- had only limited contact with settlers, Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins would go on to spend the majority of her adult life apart from the Paiutes.

Mrs. Hopkins came to the East from the Pacific coast with the courageous purpose of telling in detail to the mass of our people, "extenuating nothing and setting down naught in malice," the story of her people's trials.

Finding that in extemporaneous speech she could only speak at one time of a few points, she determined to write out the most important part of what she wished to say.

In fighting with her literary deficiencies, she loses some of the fervid eloquence which her extraordinary colloquial command of the English language enables her to utter, but I am confident that no one would desire that her own original words should be altered.

It is the first outbreak of the American Indian in human literature. Sarah Winnemucca (1844–1891) was a prominent female Paiute activist and educator; she helped gain release of her people from the Yakima Reservation following the Bannock War of 1878, lectured widely in the East in 1883 on injustices against Native Americans in the West, established a private school for Indian students in Nevada, and was an influential figure in development of United States' 19th-century Indian policies.

Giant red-haired cannibals of Lovelock, Nevada

The mysterious red-headed mummy giant of Lovelock Cave
(Let Us Try That) March 20, 2024: The Northern Paiute people have an oral tradition that tells of a barbarous tribe of [tall, redheaded] people. These barbarians were cannibals who would kill and eat the Northern Paiute people and even eat their own dead. At war for three years, the Paiutes eventually killed many of the cannibals. The rest fled to a deep cave. The mouth of the cave was stuffed full of brush and set ablaze, killing the last of those people. There have been archeological expeditions at this site, and there have been a lot of claims made about what was found there. Today, we're trying to get to the truth and find out what really happened at Lovelock Cave.
