Hjalmar Holand had proposed that interbreeding with Norse survivors might explain the " blond " Indians among the Mandan on the Upper Missouri River, but in a multidisciplinary study of the stone, anthropologist Alice Beck Kehoe dismissed, as " tangential " to the Runestone issue, this and other historical references suggesting pre-Columbian contacts with ' outsiders ', such as the Hochunk ( Winnebago ) story about an ancestral hero " Red Horn " and his encounter with " red-haired giants ".
