The place the ancestors of the Aztecs, Inca, and a bunch of other mesoamerican, central American, etc groups came from is the Altai region of Mongolia-so more Asian/Chinese than a lot of other Native groups-they all speak a Nahuatl-based language like Native people over there and are genetically related-they appear to have left there around 25,000-30,000 year ago in the Ice Age-all those groups were gleefully practicing ritual sacrifice of prisoners and other chosen victims as well as ritual cannibalism by about 900-1200 AD-you really have to wonder whether they brought that charming custom from Mongolia or evolved into it over here-they were hunter-gatherers and it was cold over there...

I remember reading a book from a dude that had firsthand accounts. Gruesome.

I enjoyed the accounts of the dogs (canary mastiff and greyhounds,) pigs and chickens.

When I got to the natives, I about puked....

I am Iroquois, perhaps they did that, God Bless I hope not....
