who taught the Native Americans to scalp?

Answer 1

the french taught them to scalp before the french came to North America the Native Americans only counted coup

Answer 2

Scalping was going on well before Europeans got to North America - so it wasn't the British or the French who "taught" anyone to do it, though this is a frequently stated notion, primarily by those people who insist on painting the Native Americans as having been essentially a lot of peace-loving hippie types prior to European contact. This is nonsensical - the Native Americans weren't barbarians but they weren't perfect idealized peace-loving nature-intuned people either - they were ordinary people living ordinary (for them) lives.

The British and the French encouraged the practice because it was a handy way to keep track of casualties. And some settlers of European origin adopted the practice themselves.
