Original Note:
The practice of scalping pre-dates European migration by more than a thousand years. The intent of scalping was not to eradicate Native Americans as the article claims. https://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/1991/12/01/scalping-victim/ The Native Americans saw scalps as trophies and often displayed them and wore them as hats. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1043463119894581
