This is actually so sad... It's actually not the first time I hear about such things happening during colonization. Practices that were considered 'inhumane' being prohibited and demonized, while nobody was really hurt during it, or the colonizers did/do much worse stuff 
Super informative topic, thank you!

It can be sad yes, but it is also the privilege of the job I do! While many practices have been lost or damaged beyond repair, it is research and preservation like mine and other anthropologists that help to recover what was lost and help reclaim it when asked. It is the one bright side to a rather sad story
