I believe it is a native American idian group who shaved skin off their heads.

This is from wiki how....I didnt write this at all but i found it for you and i was curious myself "

In the early 1960s, before the hippie movement, there were primarily two youth groups based on music in the United Kingdom. One group was called the mods, the other the rockers. Mods mostly listened to R&B, soul, ska and British rock bands such as The Who and Small Faces. Rockers mostly listened to 1950s American rock & roll. Being a mod meant dressing very well, riding a scooter and dancing late into the night. Rockers rode motorcycles and wore leather jackets, similar to greasers, their American counterparts To learn more about mods and rockers watch the movie Quadrophenia (1979).

When the psychedelic 1960s hit England, the mods split into a wide variety of fashions and styles including hippies and the skinheads. This period is where the fashion of skinheads was first defined. Skinhead fashion is intended to show pride in a traditional English working-class look.

As time went by and the skinhead movement spread around the world, the original beliefs and values evolved and split into a variety of different subcultures. Today, skinhead can mean almost anything, depending on your own beliefs, country, culture, class and where you get your information. The fascist skinheads, originally a very small minority, got a lot of press attention and in many ways were the first "ambassadors" of the skinhead look to the rest of the world. Fascist skinheads are about as common as regular fascists, and they are the exact opposite of the original skinhead philosophies and music"

Why do skinheads hate jews?

They aren't. A racist skinhead shares almost NO ideals with real skinheads. The actual skinhead scene started as a mix between the English mod scene and the rudeboy style brought to the UK by Jamaican immigrants in the '60s. The first skinhead music was ska and reggae. But skins had a reputation for being brawlers, and so, in the late 70s and early 80s, the National Front (a racist, nationalist English political group) began encouraging their followers to adopt skinhead styles. The media picked up on these boneheads and that's where the image of a racist skinhead came from.

What does the skinhead cross mean?

The skinhead cross, often referred to as the "skinhead symbol" or "skinhead cross," is associated with various subcultures within the skinhead movement, which originated in the UK in the late 1960s. While some skinheads embrace the symbol as a representation of working-class pride and music culture, others, particularly extremist factions, have co-opted it for racist or white supremacist ideologies. As a result, the meaning of the skinhead cross can vary significantly based on context and the beliefs of the individuals using it. It's important to approach the symbol with an understanding of its complex history and the differing interpretations it carries.
