The classic book on the subject (and one that started much of the controversy) is anthropologist Christy Turner's book "Man Corn" published in 1999 (Turner is a guy, by the way).\n\nTurner (and other southwestern archaeologists) would occasionally find human remains at prehistoric sites where the bones showed evidenced of having been butchered and cooked (based on cut marks and abrasions on the bones).  Most of these sites are associated with the very end of the Ancestral Puebloan people (also called the Anasazi) who dominated the four corners area of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah and built the famous ruins at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde.  Their society collapsed and most of the large settlements were abandoned around 1300AD for reasons that are still widely debated.\n\nTurner and others have theorized that limited food and overpopulation (perhaps coupled with drought and other problems) caused the communities to turn on themselves.  The cannibalism appears to be more ritual in nature rather than for food.\n\nOther archaeologists have disagreed with his conclusions (and to the extent at which it might have happened) and of course, modern native cultures (like the Hopi and Zuni) who are descendants of the Anasazi are not real fond of the theory either.  While it was probably never wide spread or common, it does seem likely that at least a few bands did practice it on occasion during the dark final days of the Anasazi collapse.

What a very interesting topic you have brought up.....I am an Inupiaq (Eenopak) the best I can do for you in English..Just say it like you see it...I am what you call an Eskimo which we are not.It is an Indian word... Inupiaq is our word for "The Real People" and have been existing in the Northern Most Regions of "Alaska, Siberia, Canada, Greenland. We all can speak the same Language. Our belief of Good and Evil has existed but not in the sense of putting them into human form...It also has to do with nature and everything in it and man having supreme dominion. With survival of the Fittest...Although their were Shamans that practiced the dark arts to control villages to gain wealth. The Good Shamans practiced healing using the natural plants and chants which were passed down and learned by the tribes. This is a dying art but still shared through the family lineages. I still know my family lineage song and passing it down to my relatives. This is our way...The only other thing I can bring up on the subject is we knew of a creator who was good, then there had to be something evil...It is the law of nature. Me I would like to spend my eternity with my tribe when things were serene before the coming of the white race, who seems to bring nothing but distruction in its path. and destroying the ecosystem of our precious homeland...but a calm serene world with our way of life and one with NATURE.....The evil shamans that once ruled certain villages along the northern coast of Alaska at one time controlled over 8,000 Inuit and amassed wealth and showed no respect. They were eventually killed off when the first Europeons brought Alcohol...When they passed out, the people in fear would butcher the shaman and spread his body so that he could not come back to the village using their magic spells they practiced.

Thanks pancharito for the story of St. Nicholas. Right now there is a documentary on the Discovery Channel where some scientists are studying the bones of this saint. He is for Real......

Cannibalism would probably do the trick.

There is quite an elaborate and wonderful story that mormons relate about the native americans.  I don't know if they are right, but it sure is interesting and probably one of the kinder forms of christianity that I've seen.  You should read some of their stuff, it's not bad!\n\nbtw:  if they are right... I will be in the terrestial kingdom (third level heaven) with all my friends... picture bourbon street!\n\nNot a bad option!

I know nothing about the culture, but encountered these articles which seem to be comprehensive.  Thought I'd share them with you:

They answered this in one of the interviews after one ot the finales. They aren't allowed to eat them unless they 'come into camp and fall over dead'. If they did, the natives might get angry... no to mention PETA.

Try reading some books by Zecharia Sitchin or check out his website. Lots of great insights on the gods and their history.

Again I answer a question so ridiculous that it's fun.\nIt wouldn't be much of a fight. Cannibals will eat human flesh, while your overweight chick wouldn't quite have acquired a taste for it. Even members of the ill-fated Donner party used it as a last resort for survival. She'd probably take one chomp and proclaim her opponent 'too gamy'. Meanwhile, the cannibal, armed with the knowledge of what are the prime parts, plus the proper recipes, would dive into her with relish (pun intended).\nInsert your own Jeffery Dahmer joke here.\nGod, this was in bad taste (again, pun intended).
