History Of Native American Scalping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2025
- Scalping in North America was done by both Native Americans, European colonizers and later Americans and Mexicans. It's a complex part of history, steeped in conflict, colonization, and cultural misunderstanding. In this video, we explore the origins, evolution, and controversies surrounding scalping - from its use by indigenous tribes as a symbol of warfare and bravery to its exploitation during colonial expansion as a gruesome bounty system.
Learn about the myths versus realities of scalping, its role in shaping power dynamics between settlers and Native Americans, and the brutal consequences of this practice for indigenous peoples. Scalping was not an Native American invention, but a human one. Did Europeans have influence on the act? What was a scalp worth, and how did it become a currency of Native and European conflicts and wars?

History is not meant to be pretty or nice
it is a brutal story of us all
I prefer the practice of "Counting Coup"
Almost lost my head learning about this 🤯
🤦♀️😅.
great one hahaha!
Great story telling!
Thank you for making it.
❤
There was also hundreds of instances of union and confederate soldiers scalping each other during the civil war with no Indian involvement.
Oh I wonder where they learned that from 🤔🤔
And do you have any proof of this or are you just going to spew random nonsense on RUclips without anything to back it up?
@@microusb42069if you did any research , you’d find out it’s true . Dirty confederates did it to loyal unionist . Idiot
Cherokee fought in the civil war.
Oh no the Indians took part in the Civil war. The Confederacy had an Indian General. One of the last generals of the Confederacy to surrender was a native American.
@@Notsoextremist you’re right they did, so did many other tribes but there was instances of scalping in battles where there were no Indians.
I care about the Native Americans today.
Their own country land homes so badly and rudely taken away by the white people European Settlers.
Fascinating. 👌🏽❤️
I've always wondered how they preserved scalps.
Like they do leather.
Probably the same way they do animal hides.
They would be sewn on small wooden hoops and the skin would be dried out like rawhide
Humans are skinned like animals. It's the same thing
A hair raising tale!
1:43 and you know what else is massive?
LOWWWW TAPER FADE
Crazy that European colonizers get a such a bad rap, when they improve and civilize every land they colonize.
😂😂😂😂
"Improve." Like sending all the natives to live on reservations and sending them to boarding schools to get indoctrinated and abused? Yeah right. Eurocentrism at its finest.
No scalping near 30 feet of property lines😅. Stay on the other side😡.
I love how NOTHING whatsoever can be blamed on Native Americans, at least not if it's anything bad. It's as if they're little children, so therefore they cannot be held responsible for anything. In fact, that's how the "colonizers" often referred to the Native Americans: treaties and other official declarations from the whites to the natives would typically begin with the salutation "My Children..." On the other hand, they would refer to the president as the "Great Father". I just find it interesting how we still think of American Indians the same way... like little children. The more things change, the more they remain the same, I guess!
I am not sure where you get your information. Native Americans , like European settlers , could be extremely brutal in warfare . This was especially true in inter-tribal warfare. This information is readily available and I have never heard of Native Americans denying their history. The issue has become that terrible things done by European settlers , especially the Spanish , to Native Americans has rarely been taught in schools. The language such as "father" and "children" were used in orations by many Native Americans and by European settlers in early treaties. No one who lived on the frontier called them children except priests and clergy trying to convert them. Ultimately Native Americans , like Europeans , Asians ,and Africans , were and are simply humans with all the good and the bad that comes with that.
Yes, I noticed the woke, far leftist terms he used. Wonder if the guy is a jew?
Bro he talks about natives scalping little children, and its not even 4 min into the video. 😂
Are you not aware that each Native Americans tribes are different, right? That's like saying, "All Europeans were vikings" so it's weird trying to generalize that "all Native american tribes were warriors" so your failed flawed logic you're making
Not held responsible? Look who's in control of the country and look at who's impoverished. I certainly don't see many indigenous people in positions of power. And as others have mentioned, not all native groups did this, as they are not a monolith like you might think they are. The point of this video was to take into account this horrible practice, but to also put it into context. And, again, listen to the video. Other people around the world practiced scalping. But guess who's been called barbaric for it? And guess which groups' scalping practices have been ignored in the history books? More often than not, I'll see Natives get grouped together as a whole and demonized for the scalping practices of some tribes, meanwhile the European practice of scalping has little to no mention in history books.
Great content as always! By the way, I’m unable to withdraw USDT from my SAFEPAL wallet. The seed phrase is (price mixed cargo human energy brown draw salmon knife path biology police). What should I do?
40 seconds in and you tell me you are going to focus on natives in North America. But next thing you talk about is Sweden.
It was to give context.

I love referring to the history of natives when modern day natives claim they were just chilling here until us whiteys came along. 😂
No one is claiming that. You're putting words in the mouths of others. There are many historians and anthropologists who will tell you all about indigenous American conflicts, many of them being native themselves.
@@justicia_azulThe idea that native americans were all peaceful and lived in harmony with nature is ingrained into our historically ignorant culture. I'm not sure why you're even pretending like that doesn't exist. I've been studying Choctaw history for years, and all of the academic types you're referring to follow an unwritten dogma that always end up to the same conclusion. Which is. "It was the white man's fault". The truth doesn't upset me but there are nuances to history because human beings are complex. Instead of viewing things objectively, "scholars", nowadays are on a crusade. Half of the battle reading is sifting through all of the virtue signaling just to get to the meat of what they're trying to say. It's excruciating.
Europeans bought the natives hair they bought that here we learned that from them when we recognized our kins hair. Stop lying about history
What colonizers are you speaking about? First Nations came to North America and fought over the land thousands of years before the first European landed. By definition, First Nations are colonizers.
That's not what Colonizer means in this context. And yes, other indigenous groups colonized each other, like the Aztecs. No one is ignoring that, but to ignore European colonization of the natives is ahistorical.
This channel is suspicious
A lot of them are.
Wym?
It took you a while but as usual you got there!
Savages
scalping was a form of currency for the spanish, these videos are false. women and children scalps were more valued. that's why the ones who encountered them scalped. power and status stuff is bs.
Yea Europeans suck
Just like Europeans in the dark ages and Renaissance 🫵😂
You didn't listen to a single word in the video, did you? Frivolous comment.
@@erenjaeger1738they don’t like to accept them as savages, only when it’s non white ethnicities 🤣
John 3:16
You completely left out the Minnesota Massacre, where over 2,000 Sioux Warriors slaughtered, butchered, and scalped over 600 farming families, (mostly women and children) in 1862, while all of the men were back east, fighting in the Civil War.
Or, how about the Wabash Massacre of 1792, where not only over 600 men were scalped after being slaughtered like animals, but, where nearly 400 women and children camp followers were also butchered, cut-up, and then scalped as well???
If you're going to pretend to be a Historian, please tell the whole stories and quit being so biased...it's extremely unprofessional!!!!!
INDIAN SCALPING.
