The whole scalping thing wasn't very good PR, either, nor was the indiscriminate slaughter of women and children.

I've also heard that cannabalism was also practiced although I could be wrong. Can anyone else confirm?

I thought white men taught Indians to scalp because they were paid to prove kills? Don't get me wrong, some of their cultures were brutal but I thought I read scalping was taught to them.
