It is questionable to whether or not that they are cannibals. Many in white culture do believe that they are but there has been no evidence for it. The evidence that they supposedly had for the Mayans and Aztecs of Meso-America being cannibals proved to be caused by other means, such as pot-polish which is the wearing away of the bone and thought to be from bones rubbing together in a pot can just be caused over time. As well as the supposed cut marks that had to be from cutting the meat off of the bone, many of the bone pieces that were found are too small to show any sort of cut marks, and when you cut meat off of the bone you don't cut the bone because it dulls the blade.

∙ 14y agoThere is some evidence that a few tribes in North America practiced ritualistic forms of Cannibalism, at least in some forms. These stories are hotly debated as many tribes were labeled as cannibals, while they were not; It was a practice among some tribes to desecrate enemies killed in battle, and other tribes would display severed body parts as warnings to stay away (A practice also used by England; head on a pike). This got them the label, without justification.

It was because of him and a few other Hawaiians that the missionaries decided to go to Hawaii and spread their God to the people. Then there was John Kalama who arrived in Washington State in 1814.
