As far as NorAm natives are concerned, i doubt that they had mastered metallurgy to the point of being able to cast suitable vessles with which to boil any missionaries.

Anywho, I'd be far more worried of the pointy stick shooter that the native dude has directed at the pilgrim.

Well, we hadn't mastered repeating rifles either, but we had plenty of them.

Krushchev said "Capitalism will sell us the rope to hang it with." Well, maybe, maybe not, but the Shemanese were happy to sell us the guns to shoot them with.

I'm sure paintings of Natives boiling missionaries existed. But they were probably all expunged from History. I mean, God forbid we actually tell people the truth about what went on back then.

I mean, how could the Natives keep playing the victim card if solid facts and truths ever came out after all?
The only history of natives killing missionaries that I know of was the story of Jesuit father Brebeuf by the Huron. He was heralded by the church as a martyr but the story told by the Huron was that he and his fellow Jesuits were diddling their children and so they killed them. Brebeuf was also thought to be a sorcerer because people started dying of strange diseases once he made contact with them. I think boiling missionaries is a myth out of Africa, though.

Meh, another racist lie. They got a million of them.

And as Hoofy himself said, he's SURE (without a shred of evidence) they're true.

The iroquois who invaded and killed the Huron with english weapons here, then burnt the jesuits that were here at the stake, and then ( the local indians say:))ate them: the hearts for certain, possibly more.
They used to share a lot at meal time, so there probably wasn't enough hearts to go round, so likely they ate other parts too...

one incident:
"Throughout the torture, Brébeuf was reported to have been more concerned for the fate of the other Jesuits and of the captive Native converts than for himself. As part of the ritual, the Iroquois drank his blood, as they wanted to absorb Brébeuf’s courage in enduring the pain.[26] The Iroquois mocked baptism by pouring boiling water over his head."

boiling water eh?

That is the reason we have a whole resurrected indian village and a catholic shrine here

That is as close to boiled and eaten as we need to go here

So Along with the post re slave owning cherokee, I'd say it isn't WU who has the credibility problem on this thread.

He isn't the one using or wearing the word "liar" on this thread.

I look at his Avatar and wonder if it 's representative. He needs one more calming...
That is his calm side. He doesn't want to scare people or animals away.

Misguide, for sure. The colonials made up all kind of garbage to justify slaughtering people all over the world.
colonials, is that the people with boats and wagons and a thirst for treasures??

...so where does that leave the real guy in the AV?

:)

Another reference to brebeuf:

They seized Brébeuf and his fellow missionary Gabriel Lalemant and tortured them to death near Saint-Ignace. Brébeuf endured stoning, slashing with knives, a collar of red-hot tomahawks, a “baptism” of scalding water, and burning at the stake. Because he showed no signs of pain, his heart was eaten by the Iroquois.
