Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History
Lesson Outline
Today's lesson focused on fun facts about history. Cabo reviewed a book titled "legends, lies, and cherished American history myths." Cabo learned about the myths and popular images of American Indians. He learned that Americans have always assumed that scalping and Indians were synonymous. Cutting the crown of hair from a fallen adversary has traditionally been viewed as an ancient Indian custom, performed to obtain tangible proof of the warrior's bravery. But in recent years, many voices—Indian and white—have seriously questioned whether the Indians did, in fact, invent scalping. The latest suggestion is that in establishing bounties for enemy hair, the white colonists introduced scalping to Indian allies innocent of the practice.
