Here’s What “Indigenous Peoples” Did to People They Didn’t Like… It’s Graphic
Conservative Tribune ^ | October 9, 2017 | Ben Marquis

Posted on 10/12/2017 2:58:32 PM PDT by plain talk

The indigenous peoples who populated the New World prior to the arrival of Europeans were arguably even worse than the hated white men who eventually conquered them, in terms of civility and wanton violence toward their enemies.

Indeed, far from things like slavery and genocide being introduced to the continent by Columbus and his successors, such acts of atrocity were already occurring widely among the various warring tribes of natives, who routinely enslaved, tortured, ritualistically slaughtered and even feasted upon their defeated enemies.

That’s right — many indigenous peoples practiced cannibalism upon those they had conquered and oppressed. Is that really what leftists want to celebrate? Don’t answer that.

“Long before the white European knew a North American continent existed, Indians of the Northern Plains were massacring entire villages,” explained George Franklin Feldman, author of the book “Cannibalism, Headhunting and Human Sacrifice in North America: A History Forgotten.”

“And not just killed, but mutilated,” Feldman added. “Hands and feet were cut off, each body’s head was scalped, the remains were left scattered around the village, which was burned.”

Tony Seybert, author of “Slavery and Native Americans in British North America and the United States: 1600 to 1865,” noted that the practice of slavery was already well-established in America prior to its discovery and subsequent settlement by the Europeans.

According to the eyewitness testimony of a Jesuit missionary named Father Barthelemy Vimont, who observed the Iroquois peoples in 1642, captives of the tribe had their fingers or hands cut off, were skinned alive and tortured for hours on end, then were scalped and mutilated in front of everyone.

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.

I grew up around Choctaws in Mississippi. Decent enough people.

Norseman did that too

I’m skeptical to be honest either way

I don’t know why people are so eager to brag about having Indian ancestors.

Not sure it's a matter of bragging. Certainly not in my case. I am 1/32 cherokee and it has been quite a wild ride trying to identify those Cherokee ancestors. But what I have found through my research has been quite interesting.

I read somewhere yesterday that since the "noble savages" were subjected to the genocide of the Europeans, their average life expectancy has more than doubled and their total North American population has nearly trebled.

How can a race survive a genocide like that?

Depends on the tribe

Cherokee generally were willing to integrate and adopt ideas from the European new comers. They lived in harmony,generally, with those around them

After reading Eckert’s The Frontiersmen I realized that no one had cornered the market on barbarity back then. All sides committed unspeakable acts.

There were tribes that were pure warrior. They raided and stole and killed...Not a lot different than the Vikings

Not all tribes were the same. Not good to paint with too broad a brush

Choctaw Tribe

https://www.warpaths2peacepipes.com/indian-tribes/choctaw-tribe.htm

The Choctaw Tribe
Summary and Definition: The Choctaw tribe descended from the ancient mound builders located in the Mississippi River valley. The Choctaw people moved across the southeast and established large, organised settlements in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana. The Creek people were farmers growing crops of corn, beans, squash, trading surplus produce to other tribes.

This article contains fast, fun facts and interesting information about the Choctaw Native American Indian tribe. Find answers to questions like where did the Choctaw tribe live, what clothes did they wear and what food did they eat? Discover what happened to the Choctaw tribe with facts about their wars and history.

Picture of the Choctaw Native Indian
The above picture depicts Mushulatubbee who was a Chief of the Choctaw. It was painted by the famous artist George Catlin (1796-1872) in 1838. The chief wore European-style clothing, as worn by many of the southeastern tribes with a decorative sash around his waist. Mushulatubbee led his warriors to assist General Andrew Jackson in the Creek War, also known as the Red Stick War (1813–1814).

What was the lifestyle and culture of the Choctaw tribe?
The Choctaw tribe are descendants of the people of the Mississippian culture, who built earthwork mounds at their villages located throughout the Mississippi River valley (refer to the Natchez Tribe for more facts). The Choctaw people established villages across the Deep South and used dugout canoes to travel and trade with many other tribes. Their numbers diminished due to the diseases brought by the Europeans including the Spanish, French and British. They allied with both the French and Americans against the British. Following the War of Independence the ‘civilizing programs’ began. The Choctaw fought under Andrew Jackson in the Creek War (1813–1814). Many Creeks adopted European practises such as European style dress, housing and farming techniques but despite this and their loyalty to the Americans they were sent to reservations. The Choctaw tribe became known as one of the Five Civilised Tribes who also included the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw and Seminoles tribes.

Not really. Just people. Their culture accepted this as normal. Just as the Europeans accepted the verdict of the Inquisition to burn heretics as the stake. No more savage than believing slavery was a viable economic system. No more violent or cruel than the English sentence for treason.

Adama culled the neanderthals, white men cull the savages.

Most tribes east of the Mississippi River were non-nomadic...

Western tribes were somewhat forced to be nomadic because of their environment and food sources.

It is because Columbus discovered them that their history became known to the World. The Inca and Aztec Empires existed at the same time, roughly 500 miles apart, but knew nothing of each other. They had no trade, nor any other communication. The only thing that they shared was being conquered by the Spanish. If they had not been, they would probably have collapse without anyone else ever knowing about them.
