“I think history has proved that white man started the scalping.”
Someone had posted that awhile ago so I did some searching. There are accounts of scalping in Europe that go way back, as well as in other places. I’m guessing it was a common enough way in a lot of places, including America 2000 years ago, to prove your manhood, that you had killed the enemy, etc.
Scalping was an Indian practice, it was not introduced by our families when they arrived here.
