What Native American tribe are thought to have practiced cannibalism?

There is a false belief held by some people today that the extinct Karankawa tribe of the Texas coast along the Gulf of Mexico were cannibals.
It is likely that they and many other Texas tribes (Tonkawas, Coahuiltecan and others) ceremonially ate parts of enemies killed in battle; this was done to absorb the strength and power of the enemy, not as a food. There is no evidence that the Karankawas ate people routinely, as cannibals would certainly do.
The Carib tribe of the Lesser Antilles (Windward and Leeward Islands) are reported to have practised cannibalism (hence the word cannibal derives from Carib); but the accuracy of these early reports is subject to debate.
In the USA a group of 87 pioneers (the Donner party) trapped by snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the winter of 1846-1847 resorted to cannibalism in order to survive; these were not native Americans.
