Robert Cartier, an archaeologist with Archaeological
Resource Management in San Jose, Ca., has located a figure in the upper
Paradise Valley in Southwestern Montana that is around 1,287 ft. long
with an arm span of about 330 ft. Cartier said the figure was possibly
made by the Avonlea Indian Culture, which migrated from Canada to the
southwest between 200 and 750 A.D. The figure, he contends, is shaped
like the current Navajo Yei figures, or Navajo gods and goddesses.
