Would this magazine article count as a legitimate secondary source reference? Also, respectfully, I think the Pacific Islands Report should count. It was a wire service not just some random person's blog:

After more than twenty years, the daily Pacific Islands news service provided by the Pacific Islands Development Program at the East-West Center will cease. Founded in 1997 and read by thousands across the Pacific Islands and around the world, the Pacific Islands Report ends publication with an archive of well over 100,000 articles.

Taotao Tagga was the name given by archaeologists to a 17th century Chamorro man who lived on the island of Tinian. His skeletal remains were noteworthy for their extremely large stature, and the name 'Tagga' makes reference to a legendary ancient chief from a race of giants. However, modern scholars believe his robust build resulted from a lifetime of heavy physical labour, including the construction of megalithic stone structures.[1] [2] [3]
