The Crow Creek massacre
Nearly 500 killed at a fortified village on the Missouri
Around 1325 a fortified farming village on the Missouri was stormed, and almost all its people, some 500, were killed. Their remains were found in a ditch in 1978; the bones show signs of scalping and malnutrition. It is one of the grimmest pieces of evidence for warfare in pre-Columbian North America.
