Ours often herded hundreds of buffalo and pushed them all off a cliff to be able to ride down later and casually choose dead carcasses for food and let the others rot. Lazy,wasteful and harmful to ecology and animal life.
At the library where I used to work a professor ordered an article in an obscure history journal. It detailed “Native American” torture of a pioneer who was ambushed (for being a white man—he didn’t do anything to them).
He had hot coals placed on his head. His feet were literally burned black by a flat shovel blade heated in a fire. A 10 year old boy was told to bite off his fingers but failed on most of them. to laughter.
Scalding hot water was poured over him. They cut his arms and pulled out the tendons. They rammed a pointed rod into his body from below. Finally they beheaded him.
The professor’s series of articles was about various practices of beheading people.

It was excruciating to listen to him tell his story. /s
In Tennessee, it was a popular trick to tie a white settler’s arms backwards around a tree, then disembowel him, and wrap his entrails around him (alive) and leave him for the carnivores.
A lot slower than being burned alive.
