Every Columbus Day, liberals insist that the story of European colonization is a simple narrative of good versus evil: horrible Europeans came upon innocent Native Americans, introducing slavery, exploitation, and oppression. A massive archaeological discovery blows one of many gaping holes in this narrative. While Europeans did indeed do horrible things, the natives weren't exactly innocent.
Two hundred and fifty skeletons of children between the ages of 4 and 14 have been unearthed at Huanchaco, Peru, in what experts say is likely the world's largest child-sacrifice site. Huanchaco is a site of the Chimú culture (1200-1400), a predecessor to the mighty Inca Empire, which also carried out child sacrifices.

That would be a slow day at the typical Planned Parenthood office.

“Not our North American peaceful, loving, caring ones...”
Yes. Look up the Cahokia Mounds burial pits. Once the largest center of incipient North American Native civilization. They could have become Ur if they hadn’t died out before Columbus came.
I, of course, didn’t include Mexico as part of North America because of racism or something...
I once had a working partner on a job site who was half Cherokee and some other tribe. He said he was rejected by both on account of that.
After a few days working together, I told him how he had completely shattered the noble red man/at one with nature myth. He only laughed.
Any man or woman is capable of savagery. Just empty the grocery store and watch what happens.
This is why I never eat Indian Tacos.
You never know who might be in them.
Find some history books about the earliest days of the founding of Texas. And read about the Comanches and what they did to the settlers. One of their favorite things was to capture a man and cut off his arms and cook them over a fire and eat them right there with him alive. That was in the early 1800s not a thousand years ago.
actually cannibalism and human sacrifice were pretty common among american indians in both north and south america.
that said, human sacrifice was common in europe before christianity. as well human sacrifice was common in oceana africa and asia before christianity.
the abolition of official human sacrifice throughout the world is probably the most significant thing that Jesus did.
In number 29 I intended to go further with the Anasazi information regarding their rituals. Glad you covered it.
What the aboriginal inhabitants of North and South America, commonly referred to as “Indians”, are today, came from vastly different origins themselves, some from Asia, some crossing the Pacific from the Melanesian archipelagos of Oceania, and even some few crossing what was then a land bridge covered with glacier from Europe, And they came in several different waves, some much later than others.
In the territorial area of the United States alone, there were some 400 or more distinct groups at the time of Columbus, many of whom undertook mutual battles of extinction with each others. Just consider the differences that were between the Navajo and the ancient cliff dwellers, known as the Anasazi. For centuries, perhaps, the Navajo harassed the Anasazi, until the Anasazi undertook an extermination program on the Navajo, catching them, killing them, cooking them and eating the stew, tossing away their bones. Even today, the Navajo speak in hushed tones, of “the old ones”, never referring to them openly, as the Anasazi cursed the Navajo for all eternity.
The Anasazi, it seems, did not survive to the present day, for only the ancient cliff dwellings attest to the fact they were ever here. They were supposedly related to the resent day Pueblo people, who now live peaceably with the Navajo.
Or consider the Cheyenne of Wyoming, who were subject to border raids by the neighbors, the Crow. In one dramatic confrontation at a mountain called Crow Heart, a band of young Crow males was captured by the Cheyenne, and the Cheyenne chief asked the Crows who their leader was. All the Crow willingly pointed him out, and he was brought before the Cheyenne chief. Upon affirming that he was, in fact, the leader, the chief plunged a knife into the chest of the young Crow, pulled out the still beating heart, and took a bite out of it. His mouth dripping with the blood of the unfortunate Crow, the chief turned to the rest of the Crow, and told them, go back and tell your people what you have seen here today.
The Crow never bothered the Cheyenne after that.
And these were just two incidents, among what must have been innumerable times when differences were settled with combat, or stealth, or downright treachery.
We sacrifice more babies in America than were ever by pre Columbian Americans.
Yes they were. They were the happy children of the forest who sang and danced with animals who could also sing and dance.
I’m pretty sure that should Lizzy be elected she’ll be taking the axe to all sorts of people, laws and institutions.
“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.”
It was excruciating to listen to him tell his story. /s
The Europeans weren’t an “evil people”, the Indians weren’t an “evil people”, they were just PEOPLE.
American Indians where not the natives of north America. The courts are helping bury this fact
The Warren tribe supporters would absolutely not hesitate to do the same to non compliant Americans.
Lol
Hernando de Soto was the first European explorer to come through what is now the State of Georgia (1540).
He found many settlements of various unassociated tribes of people, throughout his travels.
In one village, the people lived on the site of large earthen mounds.
They were asked how and why the mounds were built.
It was a mystery to those people,
who said their tribe had been living there for many many years,
but the mounds were already there when they arrived.
Where did the mound builders go?
Likely wiped out by some other tribe many years earlier.
