WHAT DOES SCALPING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scalping

Scalping

Scalping is the act of removing the scalp, or a portion of the scalp, either from a dead body or living person, as a trophy of battle or portable proof of a combatant's prowess in war. Although scalping in the United States is often associated with frontier warfare in North America, it actually has a historical basis throughout the world long before Christopher Columbus arrived, the earliest being in Eurasia in prehistory. There is no precedence of Vikings being scalped when they arrived in the Americas nearly 500 years prior to Columbus. The act of scalping in the modern era was practiced by colonists and frontiersmen, as well as Native Americans, across centuries of violent conflict. Some Mexican and American territories paid bounties for enemy Native American scalps. Scalping was not practiced by all Native Americans.
