Race Of Giants Discovered In The Amazon

At that time, a tribe of "Indians giants" more than 2 meters tall was discovered living in northern Mato Grosso. They were feared by neighboring tribes. A true legend in the region, which began to be reported by some media outlets.

This 1973 photo of a Panará named Sôkriti who was among the first of giants to made contact with white men.



The Panará stepped back into Brazilian history in the 1970’s. Nobody knew what they called themselves. They were “giant Indians,” or Krenacore, Kreen-Akore, Kreen-akarore, Krenhakarore, or Krenacarore – variations of the Kayapó name kran iakarare, which means “round-cut head,” a reference to the traditional haircut that is typical of the Panará. In extensive reports from the time of contact, there is an underlying concern with explaining their unknown origin. Calling them giants, or white Indians or black Indians, was a way of identifying them while removing them from the disturbing state of absolute otherness.
