Blame the Europeans

Before the Conquistadors landed in America, all the First Peoples were living in peace and harmony. The natives were prosperous with incredibly advanced civilizations. Nope- completely to the contrary, Indian tribes were at war with each other and killing members of other tribes with great regularity. Certain tribes had rituals involving their own people that would have made Spartans squeamish. Human sacrifice was common among the natives in Latin America and some in what became known as the "New World" even practiced cannibalism. Don't let the "woke" fool you- they are only mad at the so-called "colonizers" for being better at conquest than their predecessors throughout the Americas.
