another myth started by invading europeans.. who actually started scalping in the French-Indian war. They were paid a bounty for every native scalp they brought back. As natives were forced to migrate westward they brought this to the plains so by the time there was a full-on takeover they had it down pretty good. Since newspapers and the telegraph was now able to report back, it was thought natives "invented" scalping.
