Strong Alaska Indians on King Island Describe Giants Of The North

A report from Popular Science News describes King Island Eskimos as among the world’s tallest people with men over six feet and tall women. They exhibit great strength and agility, lifting heavy stones and tea carries, often traveling long distances with minimal food while subsisting on fish and seal oil. Their homes are multi story stone and earth dugouts, built into hillside slopes with driftwood and hides. Two hundred people live in the village amid harsh environmental conditions.
