Big & Mysterious History of Sioux City, Iowa: Roberts and Cordura Murder, Policy of Indians to Kill Women and Children of Hostile Tribes

The Indian tribes had what could be described as a curious and to the white people a barbaric custom. When the tribes would go to war an battle with one another they would kill the women and children of their enemy. An educated guess as to why this was could be so the women could not go on to bear more children which could wage war against the enemy so the children could not grow up to revenge the death of their parents or wage war against said enemy.
