Singing was and continues to be a serious issue with serious consequences, and if someone has good reason to believe sorcery was used in the carrying out of a murder, they should be able to present that evidence to the local authorities (the tribe elders) and seek payback.

... the source you provided explicitly contradicts this notion of well-founded claims of sorcery.

Payback is a much more humane approach to criminal punishment than the white people’s prison system. White people lock a lad up for years and destroy his relationship to his community, so as often as not he’s forced to commit crimes again to survive. Payback is quick and simple, and once it’s done, the victim is expected to forgive the criminal. No bloody cycles of revenge, no more hard feelings.

Are you being fucking serious? Your own source points out that the exact opposite is the case - that deaths in Aboriginal warfare continued to generate feud and counter-feud even in the most ritually justified circumstances.

As you read in the excerpt I shared, aboriginal tribes would go to war, and the leaders would instruct the warriors to avoid shedding blood. And if no blood was spilled, it would be considered a great victory.

In ritualistic battles bloodshed was not the goal. Your source explicitly points out that in other forms of Aboriginal warfare bloodshed explicitly was the goal.

Look at the Crusades and tell Me what we’ve discussed today fits your idea of “tribalism” better than white people’s greatest “accomplishments”.

The truth is, the realists are more militant in their quest to destroy opposing social groups than any tribe.

The question isn't about destroying 'opposing social groups', the question is of death by violence.
