BTW, off-topic, but quoting from the latest article:

"In "Cycle," the authors tell a Lakota story, about humans and giant animals
becoming so evil that the Creator sent his Thunderbirds to fight them. They
threw down thunderbolts from the sky that shook the world, setting forests and
prairies on fire with flames that leaped to the sky. Lakes boiled and dried up,
rocks glowed and the giant animals burned up.

Then the Creator sent rain to flood the Earth and cleanse it. After the floods
subsided, the few people who survived found the bones of the giant animals
buried in rock and mud."

The idea of these stories being 13,000 year old recollections of a comet strike
are, IMHO, silly-- but there is an excellent (and much more plausible, again
IMHO book on Native American attempts to interpret fossils:
