There's no evidence of Westos really being cannibals
The members of the expedition which in 1670 made the first permanent [SC] settlement learned that these Westo had attacked and destroyed the Cusabo towns at St. Helena and Kiawa. They found that the coast Indians were mortally afraid of them and accused them of being cannibals, an accusation for which there appears to have been no justification.2
