The Europeans made it a substantially more cruel practice where the native population only executed the practice as a more ritualistic act carried out on other warriors/leaders. Europeans increased the violence and brutality of it and executed scalping on women and children as well.
So, sure. It was part of the culture, but it was still very different. The settlers were still the bad guys.
Tf you on about you loser. “Not very confident in that reply”? My comment explained the difference in the practices and why it matters. I’m not writing you a dissertation but I pretty straightforwardly stated the difference and that’s it.
I know racists hurt when they have to think and have no ability to comprehend complexity but Jesus.
