Did the Comanche Indians scalp their victims?

Answer 1

the people who populated the area of Eurasia from the eastern shore of the BlackSea to the Indus ...To prove a kill, Natives were required to take the scalp, a sure indication

Answer 2

Yes, but it was not commonplace. Native Americans who scalped (it was a common but not universal practice) generally scalped military opponents or White Settler families. Blacks were rarely members of these groups and as a result, were disproportionately not represented among scalping victims. However, on occasions that Blacks served in the US Armed Forces attacking Native Americans, they would be scalped. Additionally, we have records of White Slaveowners paying Native American trackers to hunt down escaped Black Slaves and to scalp them in order to weaken the resolve of other slaves. The Native Americans usually complied with the "request" to scalp fugitive slaves.
