Little did we know that at the same time, a bunch of people from the local Santee and Kiawah tribes dressed up in full regalia, and showed up.
We were pretty disappointed actually. I mean, it's a common tactic for white people to get Native American people to come to their ceremonies and "bless" things and whatever (It happens a lot here in the PNW, where anytime there's something with the dams, they always want the Native people to come like "Oh, yeah, the dam is so great, it destroyed our lives and flooded our historic homeland. Yay electricity!"
Anyway, we were disappointed, and started chanting "Go Back To Europe" as the row boats came from the tall ship with all the people in costume.
Then, when they were close, the Santee and Kiawah people pulled out bows and arrows and spears and they fucking attacked the rowboats!!
Like, period bows, but actual arrows! Firing at the rowboats, running into the water and throwing spears! It was bedlam. They turned around!
