A Dart in a Boy’s Eye May Have Unleashed This Legendary Massacre 350 Years Ago
The article that I choose to read was entitled, “A Dart in a Boy’s Eye May Have Unleashed This Legendary Massacre 350 Years Ago”; this was an article by Owen Jarus who is a contributor of Live Science published on the 22nd of April. In the article, archeologists led by Charlotta Hillerdal and Rick Knecht had discovered over 60,000 artifacts as well as 28 bodies in a village called Agaligmiut in Alaska. The massacre was estimated to have occurred about 350 years ago and it may have started due to dart game. The remains were found to have signs of burns and had arrow points at the top. To add some of the remains found had been tired on the ground using ropes made of grass; this could only interpret that they had been forced to face down and then massacred.
Start of the war
The start of the war has a lot of different versions, however, one of them, according to the article was that during the time, villagers played the game of bow and arrow. One day a boy from a villager by mistake hit the eye of another boy who came from the different village. The father of the injured boy in return attacked the boy who caused the injury mainly by knocking down both his eyes and with time the relatives and then both the villagers were both were involved. Eventually this led to a series of wars which finally resulted to the massacre. During the time, the weather was cold and this too may have resulted to shortage of food which could have fueled the conflicts.
