The Spaniards of the 15th century weren't exactly what I would term "model Christians", far from it. But they were honestly shocked, horrified and outraged at the sight of obvious human sacrifices and, dare I say it, cannabilism practiced by the peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

Any attempt to equate THAT so called native civilization with ours today sickens me.

I know alot of good decent alaska natives; but have you ever been to a bush village or on a reservation? They sure did a 180 after 1492.

I've read that their cannibalism included raising people to eat - kind of like human feed lots. Nasty people indeed. They also built pyramids, like another perfidious bunch of people, the Egyptians.
