Having a Chief for Dinner

This riveting volume dispels the sanitized history surrounding native American practices towards their enemies that preceded the European exploration and colonization of North America. As the author notes, "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. We further compound the negligence and abandon truth when we gloss over the clashes between the native Americans and Europeans, encounters of parties equally matched in barbarity." 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.
