Here's a list of different native american names and descriptions of different giants:

Native American Indian Giants of Myth and Legend

Any members of native descent who could bring their perspective to the giant discussion?

Found this page that shares about the stone giants and compare it to a greek myth:

The Iroquois Legend of the Stone Giants

The Iroquois Legend of the Stone Giants

The Iroquois Legend of the Stone Giants

The Iroquois believed that in early days there existed a malignant race of giants whose bodies were fashioned out of stone. It is difficult to say how the idea of such beings arose, but it is possible that the generally distributed conception of a gigantic race springing from Mother Earth was in this instance fused with another belief that stones and rocks composed the earth's bony framework. We find an example of this belief in the beautiful old Greek myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha, which much resembles that of Noah. When after the great flood which submerged Hellas the survivors' ship grounded upon Mount Parnassus they inquired of the oracle of Themis in what manner the human race might be restored. They were bidden by the oracle to veil themselves and to throw the bones of their mother behind them. These they interpreted to mean the stones of the earth. Picking up loose pieces of stone, they cast them over their shoulders, and from those thrown by Deucalion there sprang men, while those cast by Pyrrha became women.
These Stone Giants of the Iroquois, dwelling in the far west, took counsel with one another and resolved to invade the Indian territory and exterminate the race of men. A party of Indians just starting on the war-path were apprised of the invasion, and were bidden by the gods to challenge the giants to combat. This they did, and the opposing bands faced each other at a spot near a great gulf. But as the monsters advanced upon their human enemies the god of the west wind, who was
lying in wait for them, swooped down upon the Titans, so that they were hurled over the edge of the gulf, far down into the dark abyss below, where they perished miserably.

So I just found this in reference to size of humans:

Avasarpiṇī is the descending half of the cosmic time cycle in Jainism and the one in which the world is said to be at present. According to Jain texts the Avasarpiṇī is marked by a decline in goodness and religion. The ascending half of the cycle is called utsarpiṇī, which is marked by the ascent of goodness and religion.

The sixth period will be the age of intense misery and sorrow, making it impossible to practice religion in any form. The age, height and strength of the human beings will decrease to a great extent. In this era people will live for no more than 16–20 years. This trend will start reversing at the onset of utsarpiṇī kāl.

It is said that at the end of this period, humans will be no more than one cubit in height, and twenty years in age.

Avasarpiṇī - Wikipedia

And I realized that the giants of the past were the normal humans at one point, and in the future it will be us who are the giants. The new human race in the next cycle of things will probably be very small...

I can't find my post right now where I speculated that the giants and gods of the past were us, but Ill add it later.

My family originates from the area around the Ural Mountains. This would explain why I am short compared to my recent relatives. I stand 186 cm, oral records stated that in my great grandfathers time, no one in the family stood shorter than 2 m tall during youth. My grandfather used to stand at 192 cm, but has shrunken to 170 cm over time.
