Interesting. Any sources for the 1/3 of colonists? I figured it had to be a substantial number, but I've never heard anything that high.
And you're right about the historical practices. The Sioux were infamous for mutilating their slaves, torturing victims, cutting babies out of captive women, etc. Other Indians practiced cannibalism. Forced suicide/murder when a chief died. Other unpalatable practice.
The European colonialists were without a doubt brutal. But so were the Indians they met. Life was brutal.
