===Paiute=== According to [[Northern Paiute people|Northern Paiute]] oral history, the [[Si-Te-Cah]] or Sai'i are a legendary tribe of red-haired [[Human cannibalism|cannibalistic]] giants, the remains of which were allegedly found in 1911 by [[guano]] miners in Nevada's [[Lovelock Cave]].<ref name="Loud, Llewellyn L. 1929">Loud, Llewellyn L.; M. R. Harrington (15 February 1929). "Lovelock Cave". University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology (University of California at Berkeley) 25 (1): 1β183.</ref> Furthermore, the Paiute creation story tells of "beautiful giants" who once lived between the [[Sierra Nevada]]s and the [[Rocky Mountains]]. After giving birth to a disfigured child, the giants treated the child so poorly that [[the Great Spirit]] responded by making the land hot and desolate and allowing enemies to conquer the giants. Only two giants survived: Paiute and his wife, both of whose skin became brown from eternally living in the hot desert.<ref name="Greene2005">{{cite book|last=Greene|first=Michael S|title=Nevada: A Journey of Discovery|year=2005|page=39|publisher=Gibbs Smith|location=Utah|isbn=1-58685-139-X}}</ref>
