Tribes were scalping each other long before the white man set foot in the New World.

She’s the issue of a library school, a law school (no clue if she ever passed the bar exam) and, of course, an EdD program. I’ve run into these types before. They cannot tell the difference between mastery of a subject and mere wordplay. It’s quite an indictment of the institutions that they gave her that mess of diplomas.
She’s also, of course, a manifestation of the essential malice of the progtrash left.
The advantage of salad as a dish is that really even an idiot can make it.
Same with word salad.
Actuallly Don, archeological evidence shows the native tribe’s took the whole head, not just the scalp.
Aztec human sacrifice was no joy either. In North America, the minority Crow tribe was so persecuted by their majority neighbors that the whole tribe hooked up with the American soldiers and became scouts for the cavalry. This was done as a means of survival and worked out quite well except for that situation with Custer.
IIRC just about every major civilization that has existed in the Americas has engaged in human sacrifice. In the modern times the fixation on abortion is simply one more version of human sacrifice. Is there something in the air or water that brings on this bloodlust?

True. Various other parts of the body: ears, genitalia, etc were favored by different tribes. To be fair, such body part collections are not unknown in Western warfare. David had to collect a certain number of foreskins from Philistine warriors as payment of the bride price of Michel, the daughter of King Saul. War has ever been a very nasty business.
Two standards I guess. The higher the position depends on the skin tone and not the level of skill or talent. Sounds like the pronoun is king. Ability means nothing to the woke
Pre colonisation days in New Zealand, the Maori were in constant tribal conflict, including slavery & cannibalism, and also the tattooing of the male slaves with facial & head tattoo, shrinking them & keeping them as souvenirs. All the Maori tribes took part in this heinous practice. With the arrival of sealers & whalers in the 18th. century, these items became an article of trade, and ended up in many European museums.
Fast forward – post colonisation when all these practices were forbidden – we now have some elite Maori claiming that this trade was forced on them, and now send delegations to the European museums, and with much karakia – ceremonial prayer – are having these heads returned and interred by the various tribes, celebrating the return of their ancestors & condemning the pakeha – Europen settlers & military. (Pakeha means fair skinned strangers, & sometimes associated with ghosts).
How the worm has turned.
Francis Parkman’s history of the early Americas documents the cannibalism of the Mohicans by the Iriqous. We now celebrate Indigenous Cannibal Day instead of Columbus Day. When Columbus came and then Our Lady of Guadeloupe . cannibalsim ceased because the human being took his place among the stars of heaven.
