It was/is a very common part of tribal warfare. Even the Russians are accused of it in Ukraine.
It has been a part of warfare for a very long time, longer than recorded history, for certain.
It may have been because nobody knew about Stockholm syndrome then.
A different form was done by the Russians in Germany in 1945. ape of German women was a matter of policy in order to leave a lot of Russian genes in Germany. Plus, of course, the women were regarded as “spoils of war.”
Just curious, from Oatman AX?
I have reaad a number of stories about captives who returned or were recaptured. Many of the men who had been raised since childhood in the tribes went back after a year or so among their civilized brethren. Some of the women were miserable the rest of their lives due to ostracism because they had become wives to usually important men because, as everywhere, white skin, especially in woman was prized or it was assumed by civilized women that they had been sex toys for the Indian men. A couple of them went back but some were prevented by families or did not go back because husbands and/or children had been killed by white Indian fighters. The most famous was Cynthia Ann Parker whose son Quanah became the last war chief or the Comanches and whose husband had been killed n a fight with Texans.
For some of the captive girls who grew up in the tribes, capture was more like kidnapping. They did not want to leave their people who were no longer the civilized white folks. Cynthia Ann Parker had some trouble regaining English when she was recaptured. She did not go back but she lived a miserable life after.
“...but to get your entire face covered like that would take some very heavy sedatives.”
She’s lucky she didn’t wake up with “Welcome Aboard!” tattooed on her penis.
Numbers 31:17-18
"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
This Mary Jemison married a chief, I believe. Throughout the decades, and due to various circumstances, she became a wealthy woman and landowner.
She recalled everything so clearly about her life, and when she was older a man, a doctor, I think, interviewed her and wrote her biography.
(Me ... I can’t remember anything about my life.)
That was a classic movie!! Infact I may watch it again tonight!!
You and cow just need to have yourselves a good long cry.
