Just about all "indigenous peoples," not just Native Americans, have similar rituals.
The disease-caused die-off (up to 90 to 95%) in the Western Hemisphere would also have occurred if the Aztecs had "discovered" Europe. At the time, it was utterly inevitable once the two isolated groups made contact.

I love PJ. We must have bumped into each other at the Field Museum as kids. I’ll never forget being in the basement in front of the Egyptian Mummies and having the lights go off for musuem closing....
If he thinks they ruined the Field Museum he should see what the PC Nazi’s have done to the Musuem of Science and Industry...
This was a great and very amusing article! Thanks for posting.
PJ is awesome! lol

If you want to have some fun, go to the info desk of the new Native American Museum in Washington DC and ask where the Scalping Exhibit is...
Anthropologists don't fully know the difference between right and wrong, because they have been thoroughly and completely indoctrinated in our Marxist infested and controlled K-12 schools, colleges, and unversities!
The following is from: Salt & Light, The Great Commission & Who's Responsible for Educating Your Children
If the statistics are horrific for Christian youth, they must be worse from children who are not Christian.
The research data on the success of the public schools in indoctrinating Christian youth with humanistic or neo-pagan worldviews is overwhelming. The Nehemiah Institute's worldview PEERS test shows that 83-percent of the children from committed Christian families in public schools adopt a secular humanist or Marxist socialist worldview. At the SBC's 2002 annual meeting, the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life reported, among other disturbing things, that 88-percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at age 18. Barna Research reports that only 9-percent of born-again teens believe in moral absolutes, and more than half believe that Jesus sinned while He was on earth. We believe the fact that 80-percent of Christian families send their children to public schools is a prime reason for this lost legacy.
Perhaps the exhibits should include depictions of “buffalo jumps”. Prior to the introduction of horses in North America by the Spanish, native peoples sometimes resorted to causing herds of buffaloes to stampede and diverted the paniced herd to high bluffs or cliffs where large numbers would fall to their deaths and then be butchered on the spot by the natives. There are several sites in North America where this frequently occurred.
PJ is Mark Steyn's only serious rival.
