The Blackfeet were kind of assholes.

Just fuck my shit up pham

The Apache took until the 1880s to pacify.

And the Mexicans had been fighting them for centuries at that point.

The Haida were pretty hardcore.

>They were thought to be warlike and to practice slavery. Canadian Museum of Civilization anthropologist Diamond Jenness has compared the tribe to Vikings.

>Like other groups on the Northwest Coast, the Haida defended themselves with fortifications, including palisades, trapdoors and platforms. They took to water in large ocean-going canoes, big enough to accommodate as many as 60 paddlers, each created from a single Western red cedar tree. The aggressive tribe were particularly feared in sea battles, although they did respect rules of engagement in their conflicts.[4] The Haida developed effective weapons for boat-based battle, including a special system of stone rings weighing 18 to 23 kilograms (40 to 51 lb) which could destroy an enemy's dugout canoe and be reused after the attacker pulled it back with the attached cedar bark rope. The Haida took captives from defeated enemies. Between 1780 and 1830, the Haida turned their aggression towards European and American traders. Among the half-dozen ships the tribe captured were the Eleanor and the Susan Sturgis. The tribe made use of the weapons they so acquired, utilizing cannons and canoe-mounted swivel guns.

>In 1856, an expedition in search of a route across Vancouver Island was at the mouth of the Qualicum River when they observed a large fleet of Haida canoes approaching and hid in the forest. They observed these attackers holding human heads. When the explorers reached the mouth of the river, they came upon the charred remains of the village of the Qualicum people and the mutilated bodies of its inhabitants, with only one survivor, an elderly woman, hiding terrified inside a tree stump.

What's the deal with Indian names? When were they given? At birth or when the guy/girl does something? Who decides and makes them up?

the Sioux, who until the arrival of the horse were a primitive tribe of hunters up in the Canadian forests, who created America's first real Horse Culture and genocided the fuck out the many peaceful farming tribes of the Great Plains.

Also the Apache, a tribe so belligerent that other tribes blessed the US for exterminating them. As a tenet of their religion, they believed it was possible to devour the souls of their enemies, but only if they die in excruciating fear and pain. Consequently, they preferred capture enemies who they would torture to death in a variety of gruesome ways, some taking days of suffering to die.

Different tribe had different customs. Among the Lakota, a name would be given by a tribal authority after a coming of age ceremony, before then they would have a nickname, such as "stinky" or "laughs-at-dog".

The Comanche would remove eyes, ears, noses, lips, from their victims before burying them up to their necks in dirt, placing a leather bag over their heads, and letting them slowly suffocate as the afternoon heat caused the bag to constrict

Natives didn't fuck around, man.

Metal af.

What is it with native american cultures and the emphasis on maximizing suffering & torment?

At least europeans, asians, and africans just killed you

that isn't even necessary

>europeans just killed you

The Chinese probably had a couple hundred different ways to kill a bitch as agonizingly as possible

It was just as common as it was in any early society everywhere else, you just only care enough to see the entry level pleb stuff.

Would it really take that long to die from drawing and quartering though? Sure, it's brutal as hell, but I'm sure it would be over pretty quickly

>At least europeans, asians, and africans just killed you

heh

no,,,

fucking brutal

What was the benefit of consuming one's soul?

Probably all the psychadelic cacti.

Good question. I'm going to say something something power, something something.

Afaik the victim was generally dead by the time of the quartering.

>

You think someone that wanted to maximize total pain would design a system that is "pretty quick"?

Looks pretty hot

Hot.

Honestly, if I was going for shock effect, I'd get a giant dildo and shove it so far up it impales the person.

Fug, that hurts just looking at it

just a prank bro

Was it a torture? I thought it was just a brutal execution for shock effect.

>tfw you will never get this many (You)'s off a reply

Could you hug it with your legs for a natty thigh workout?

It's quite easy to be honest. Just state something that is clearly false but present it as if it was true. I remember getting many (You)'s one time when I said that Sub-Saharan Africa had no idea of animal husbandry and didn't have cattle.

There's two ways of doing it.

One is to really impress people, either with wit or insight. This is obviously the harder of the two.

The other is to say something so incredibly stupid that people pounce on you like a pack of hungry vultures just aching to put someone in their place. It has to be unironic stupidity or people just assume that it's bait.

Here's a good example of how to get (You)'s by acting retarded.

Rubbish, you just post tits and don't give sauce.

You sick bastard

>Rubbish, you just post tits and don't give sauce.
I mean, if we want to wade into the /b/-tier sea of vomit and shit, we could also include epic gets and dox threads

A good GET will always attract (You)'s, but the secrets of harnessing their occult energies is beyond the capabilities of your casual shitposter.

Motherfucker I actually fell for it twice.

Is that a meme for...

ANTS?!!

>filename

Why did natives look so much more alpha back then? Now they're tubby manlets.

Hard living.

Because that's how they look. The "noble savage" image is far from truth.

Also, their metabolism doesn't go well with fatass Mexican and American food.

Dude...metal

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to work out if you don't know where the next meal is coming from.

that one tribe in florida that resisted for a while after every other tribe succumbed

Straight up they legitimately process certain foods and chemicals differently than white people. This is part of the reason why alcohol is so devastating in native communities

Seminoles

Hard to decide
Algonquins were full time assholes with their wendigo psychosis
Inuits were (are) crazy psychos
Apaches, comanches, sioux, pawnees, aztecs, caribs, tupis...

as mentioned previously probably a toss-up between the Comanche and Lakota.

other tribes were great fighters too but that pair were really aggressive and hostile, building empires of their own in the 18th and early 19th centuries.

great fighters but definately not the craziest or most violent.

The nomadic Southwestern tribes (Comanche and Apache) were nasty out of necessity, forced to content with new Indian neighbors and white settlers both coming out of the East.

When times got tough, they would raid their old settled neighbors like the Pima, Pueblo, and Yuma.

Not everyone, just people they reeeeally hated. Like well-known rival chiefs. Or US soldiers.

They had religious reasons for doing so. Depriving a victim of his or her sensory organs would leave them blind and deaf, unable to navigate the afterlife. This is described in the 1956 documentary "The Searchers".

Read Foucault

The Southwestern tribes for sure. Comanche and Apache in particular.

>europeans just killed you

[keking]

for all ancient and medieval cultures (and a lot of modern ones) if you caused enough butthurt for them they will torment you to death and they'll love it.

There are people here that want certain people to experience horrible pain and suffering before their well deserved end. Imagine a world were you can do just that and no one would stop you?
