    It is forbidden to eat people in many of the indigenous religions and well documented in the folk lore of that region. And technically Christians talk alot of cannibalism by accident. Literally that is one of the sensible reasons why Ancient Romans Outlawed Christians for a while, that people don't wanna admit. I mean Christianity is a mystery cult... we just all go to the rituals or at least understand the rituals are symbollic. Like imagine if a guy hands you this plank of wood. Tells you that Jesus will live forever if you eat of his flesh and drink his blood. And never saw a church ceremony. It wouldn't surprise you these white people were snacking on each other. Its literally in the bible.

There are a few that talk about cannibalism metaphorically. The corn god and wendigo. If you don't know Transubstantiation is a metaphor, it would be confusing. In fact some Christians believe in the Transubstantiation is a real thing So literally these Christians believe and say they are drinking the blood if Christ and eating the body of Christ. Lots of accidental cannibalism.

    A side note: the Washoe natives were living and thriving in those same mountains, that same winter. We don't have many records on their involvement in the story of the Donner Party (surprise, surprise), but their oral tradition includes the story of the starving strangers who were camped in a place unsuitable for the weather. The natives took pity on them and brought them rabbit and potatoes, which by some accounts went untouched. Another account tells that a few men attempted to bring them a deer, and were shot on sight. Not long after, they were observed by the natives to be eating each other, and were given a wide berth from there on out. TL\DR: The Donners were not alone in those mountains and if not for petty racism, they probably would not have turned to cannibalism at all. (Also, Abraham Lincoln--yes, THAT Abraham Lincoln--almost went with the Donner Party. The only reason he stayed back was because he had to care for a sick family member.)

    Actually the only people that there are evidence of murder for were the two indigenous Americans, Salvador and Luis, who were already near death when they were killed, (which doesn’t discount the fact that racism definitely played a role). Shane doesn’t go into it the best in the video, which is understandable it’s very difficult to keep track of, but the timeline in the mountains was actually pretty complicated with pretty much everyone who died verifiably dying from causes other than murder. People were buried in the snow, which preserved the bodies. Eventually the people in the mountains sincerely ran out of food. Like they were eating the cowhide of their roofs. And people realized that they did have food out in the snow banks. At that point it was sit and watch your children slowly wither away from starvation, or give them what food is available.

    Another depressing fact about the Donner Party is that one of its members, William Hook, a 12-13 year old boy, actually died from overeating. When he was rescued, he could not stop eating and the rescuers gave him something to make him throw up so he wouldn't become ill from so much food all at once. However, during the night he snuck to where the rations had been hidden outside in the cold and ate until he died. My little brother is really into history and when he was a kid he really liked this graphic novel series called Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, which contains a book called the Donner Dinner Party, which is how we both knew a lot about the Donner Party when we were probably about 9 and 12, respectively

    Well they didn't use a wagon - they were travelling via walking through the still snowy mountains. And snowy in the sense of snowed in, meters deep with the danger of avalanches and rocky ways pretty much making things more difficult If you get stranded in snowed in mountains, you're either dead or you have to know how to survive in that climate and environment Edit: the Natives were said to actually be close to death due to malnutrition, the lack of energy and food and the freezing climate - so they killed them partly out of mercy, partly to make an ensured death quicker and give them a better chance of survival. By the accounts of the people they encountered after finally reaching civilization, they had walked their feet bloody and torn that it left foot trails in the snow, they had freeze burns and they were haggered and gaunt. And they probably didn't know how far away they were from their end goal, it's what we know today and perhaps people only back then when they heard about the event The rescue parties couldn't even carry much resources and were also quickly exhausted; they almost left people behind, with their family members promising pay after the rescue or begging them for their aid only for them to not abandon people and keep oh carrying them through the winter And sending someone to jail for going insane by almost starving? Hastings couldn't be made responsible because he only gave the advice, but it was considered the fault of the dying people for following the advice in the first place Most stories of people surviving in the freezing cold always end extreme - the French in Napoléons army all died horribly or succumbed to cannibalism or the cold just because of the winter - the same for the germans in World War 2. The Scott-Amundsen race is another good example, although without cannibalism. The Franklin expedition and also the most recent event of the stranded people in the Andes.

    @@z2yn You've got some great info there but the issue is, on the part of the natives being close to death from starvation, that was a story told by the survivors who had eaten the natives. They'll claim it was mercy because it makes it seem less awful. I'd be willing to bet it wasn't about mercy, it was about survival and fear. They feared that the natives (who were named Luis and Salvador) would go back to their people and tell them about the white people eating human flesh, which may have turned the natives hostile to the Donner party. The second issue is with the whole "close to death because of starvation" thing. They (both Donner party and natives) WEREN'T starving at that point. They were hungry certainly, but they misinterpreted the situation. They thought that the people that were dying had died of hunger when for the most part it was because of disease. So naturally the natives would not have been close to death from starvation either. I'd recommend checking out the video on this on the AskAMortician channel since Caitlyn would do a much better job explaining this than I could.

Look at the story of the sinking of the ‘Essex’, where the survivors of the shipwreck could’ve rowed to the Marquesas islands (the nearest by), but fear there were cannibals there. Instead two of the rowboats cannibalized half of their members before being found by a passing ship.

    FUN FACT! The Donner Party was offered a lot of help from a few of the local native tribes! They not only offered supplies, but advised them not to attempt to cross the mountains. Of course, they turned them down, calling them "savages," but the kind native people didn't take no for an answer. They would send a few people to deliver food, blankets, and other commodities just outside their camp! Of course, the Donners still didn't accept help from the "savages". (I believe this was outside the camp at what is now Donner Lake). After attempting once again to assist the unfortunate invaders, the native people were shot at by the Donners, and so they decided to give up. And so, as the story goes, the Donners crossed the mountains and started eatin' each other. Now that's savage. (Someone can fact check me here, I think I got it right but my memory could be fuzzy)

    One man was able to grab a smack before cannabilism in the donner party in the snow. It was a mouse I think he just grabbed it as it passed by, ate it alive, puked then died a few hours later.

    Damn, you guys left off the best character from the rescue: John Stark "In Summit Valley the remaining rescuers discussed what to do and took a vote to save only two of the children in Starved Camp. That might have been all they could manage. The others would have to stay behind. John Stark, above, could not abide that. That meant that nine people, mostly children, would die on the mountain, exposed to the elements down in a very deep hole in the snow. John Stark decided he would save all nine, “Already shouldering a backpack with provisions, blankets, and an axe, he picked up one or two of the smaller children, carried them a little ways, then went back for the others. Then he repeated the whole process again and again and again. To galvanize morale, he laughed and told the youngsters they were so light from months of mouse-sized rations that he could carry them all simultaneously, if only his back were broad enough.” Once they were out of the snow he would eat and rest he said, but not before. He saved all nine. That is extraordinary and that is heroism. It was also heroism he never got contemporary credit for. James Breen, one of those in the pit at Starved Camp later said, “To his great bodily strength, and unexcelled courage, myself and others owe our lives. There was probably no other man in California at that time, who had the intelligence, determination, and what was absolutely necessary to have in that emergency.”" www.donnersummithistoricalsociety.org/pages/Restaurant/HeroismandPathosonDonnerSummit.html
