In early 1800, the Okanagan Indians who are First Nations and Native American people came in came into contact with the non-indigenous people. Among their first contacts were the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but this particular myth goes much further back in time, long before the tribe encountered the first white men.
White Giants Living On A Lost Paradise Island
It was the American historian Hubert Howe Bancroft who in 1886 brought the Okanagan myth of the lost island to light.

The story of the sinking island was passed from generation to generation, and it cannot be denied it reminds of the fate of Atlantis.
