Head-hunting was a feature of certain South American tribes, notably the Jivaro group (including the Shuar tribe) of Peru and Ecuador. These native Americans collected the heads of defeated enemies and removed the skulls, dried the skins, shrank them and kept them as trophies called tsantsa.
So no, it was not in California but in the tropical rainforests of South America.

No, shrunken heads were not invented by Native Americans, but rather by certain indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest region of South America, such as the Jivaro people. This practice did not occur in California.
