The purpose was just the same as today's Terrorism. Killing people is easy but they wanted to scare settlers away by horrific acts of torture.

The same thing occurred in Africa when the first white men came and tried to establish trade with the natives.

The first white trader was kidnapped by the male natives and his arms and legs were tied down to the ground then a stick was put in his mouth to keep his mouth open.

Then all of the women and children in the tribe pissed and shite in his mouth until he died.

That was supposed to scare all of the white people out of Africa. Instead, the next day the British troops in the area, who up until that time had never hurt any of the native women and children, attacked the tribe and killed everyone including all of the women and children.
