I'm wondering about the last sentence about Etienne Brule. He was eaten by the Hurons? If whoever wrote that could give me a source for that information I'd appreciate it.
- It was User:Maury Markowitz - I wrote the original article, and I just said he was killed by the Hurons. I'm not sure where Maury got the info that he was eaten. Adam Bishop 22:07, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] On Brûlé being eaten after his death by torture
As part of Wendat war rituals, prisoners would be tortured to death and the body parts being cut off would sometimes be eaten by the people attending the "ceremony". For example, relatives of the warriors that the prisoner had killed in battle would cut off a finger or an ear and eat it in front of the victim. As part of the ritual, the captive would be asked to sing his adonwé (a kind of a courage song) while the warriors would tear off his nails, cut his fingers, burn his skin all over, cut off parts of his body and eventually decapitate him.
There is evidence that the normal ritual was not performed on Brûlé after he was taken prisoner by a group of Wendat warriors. If we believe the history as it was reported at the time, Brûlé was found (by his children) crucified on a wooden cross at spring. Part of his chest on the heart's side was open.
That's what I know. If I can find the original source of this info, I will post it here. -- Mathieugp 19:28, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Copied from the Brule disambiguation page
Étienne Brûlé was a Frenchman employed by Samuel de Champlain to establish friendly Native American relations in parts of the North American interior, which is now present-day Canada. In the year 1632, an Native American tribe caught him robbing the grave of a sacred burial ground. Members of the tribe then proceeded to kill him and eat parts of his remains to avenge the atrocity. This instance is referred to as one of the many examples of excessive European interference with Native Americans, which resulted in disaster.

[edit] Just so you know
A living relative of Étienne Brule claims that Étienne's death is still a mystery, and therefore warrants investigation.
