Michael Rockefeller killed, eaten by headhunters: claim
(Imagine what it was like back during colonialism of the 1400-1800s.. There were headhunters on every continent.. Some like these, ate everything in sight, including their neighboring tribes AND the pilgrims..
I guess history is all in how you look at it, and on how much you really know about it from every angle.. Doesn't seem that any race or continent was immune to it.
I don't think that most people understand that the American indians were not "American" any more than the Colonialist were, they were the off spring of Nomadic populations that traveled from other continents in much the same way as your pilgrims did. That's why when you DNA "American Indians" today science has a hard time distinguishing many tribes from their European and other counterparts.. Just as my own family. But, my grandmother is listed with the tribe and has been since they started documenting and recording.

If you'll notice, : Tribal Headhunting type practices, can be traced from everything from Europe, to Asia , North America, Africa and most other parts of the world. they were ALL heathens to some extent.. There were no "innocents' during colonialism.. They were killing each other long before the Spanish, French, Brits and other Europeans landed on the Global shores of the 7 continents.
