When the women needed to fight with the men, they would kill their children first, to free themselves up.
Good golly - they would kill their children so they could fight? Definitely Utopian./ not.
I visited a town in Kansas when I doing genealogical research. The local museum was very interesting. The RR had gone through there, lots of bad guys killed in the OK Corral, I suspect. There was an Indian section with a sign that said, “Do not ever think the Indians were anything but savages. They skinned people alive….’ with a lot of elaboration on exactly what the settlers there had had to deal with. It was a very strong, NOT PC statement. There were lots of photographs, too.
