CONCLUSION:
A SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS DESCRIPTION OF WHAT WENT ON AT CAHOKIA: "religious or other ceremonies... for a special purpose or event." SOME OF THOSE INVOLVED HUMAN SACRIFICE! BUT WE DON'T WANT THE KIDS TO LEARN THAT ABOUT THOSE FRIENDLY NATIVES, NOW DO WE? LET'S JUST BLANKET IT UNDER "religious" or "ceremonies." TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH, PLEASE!
