Vopreki shiroko rasprostranennomu mneniyu, snyatie skal'pov – vovse ne indeyskaya pridumka. SHirokiy razmah etoy, tak skazat', procedure, dali kolonizatory iz Anglii. Skal'p sluzhil sredstvom strogoy otchetnosti i svoeobraznoy kvitanciey na poluchenie deneg. V 1720 godu za kazhdyy skal'p platili do sta funtov. Anglichane, obosnovavshiesya v Amerike, videli v indeycah ne lyudey, a zverey, po chistomu nedorazumeniyu obitayushchih na zemlyah, prednaznachennyh belomu cheloveku. Na etu temu v koloniyah dazhe vyshlo neskol'ko teoreticheskih rabot, risovavshih indeycev kak zhivotnyh, ochistit' ot kotoryh zemlyu – bogougodnoe delo. I ochishchali… Vot takovy istoki konservativnoy britanskoy morali.
