Scalping has a complex history, and both Native Americans and European settlers practiced it at different times for various reasons. Native American tribes engaged in scalping long before European contact, often as a means of warfare and to claim victory over enemies. However, the practice became more widespread and commercially driven among white settlers during colonial conflicts, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries. Thus, while Native Americans had their own traditions of scalping, European settlers adapted and escalated the practice in a different context.
