Hmmm...
I was told years ago by a white history professor at a mid-West college that the Winnebago tribe practiced cannibalism - I have found no references to this on the Internet.
I wouldn't necessarily take references found in non-Native books and websites seriously, but you can find such mentions on the Net.
A Native American Encyclopedia
The Winnebagos were cannibals.
Cannibalism
Among the North American tribes which practised cannibalism in some form may be mentioned the ... Winnebago.
Native North American Spirituality of the Eastern Woodlands
A Winnebago Vision Experience for War Power
When the young man got there, he saw four men. They were called cannibals, and they were brothers.
