The man they were apologising to was Charles Milner-Williams, 65, of Hampshire.
The meal they were apologising for was his great-great grandfather, the Reverend John Williams

i dont know ive seen some peeps that look like they would taste pretty gamey... they felt the need to apologize because cultures like theirs tend to have a deeper connection to the past.. they said they thought the action brought a curse on their people so they were punished as a people in their minds and should as a people atone

Oh, well, let bygones be bygones. Sorry about greatgreatgrandpa and your greatgreatgrandpa. We'll move on from here. You don't eat my folks, and I won't take advantage of your resources. Can't we all just get along?

Ya i was thinking the same thing. Who set up the meeting between the tribe and the families. i doubt the tribe had to resources to track them down and fly them out. Im not even saying its ominous, but the story seems contrived. Tourism is really likely.. hard to get people to vacation at your cannibal island
