Product Review
Injury, violent death, dismemberment and cannibalism are things that all of us fear, but they also fascinate. Cannibalism, Headhunting and Human Sacrifice in North America will be a most useful starting point for those who wish to read about or do research in the history of these kinds of mayhem in North America. --William D. Lipe, Professor Emeritus at Washington State University and former president of the society for American Archaeology
Product Description
This riveting volume dispels the sanitized history surrounding Native American practices toward their enemies that preceded the European exploration and colonization of North America.
We abandon truth when we gloss over the clashes between Native Americans and Europeans, encounters of parties equally matched in barbarity, says George Franklin Feldman, We neglect true history when we hide the uniqueness of the varied cultures that evolved during the thousands of years before Europeans invaded North America.
The research is impeccable, the writing sparkling, and the evidence incontrovertible: headhunting and cannibalism were practiced by many of the native peoples of North America.
