Sorry Andrew but Indians were scalping each other long before white people ever stepped foot in America. Many were also sacrificing babies, brutally killing women in horrific rituals to made up gods they invented and raping/enslaving peaceful opposing tribes. Some dark history.

Somehow, indigenous peoples went from being referred to almost exclusively as baby-killing savages to almost exclusively being referred to as noble, peace-loving ecologists!
In reality, all peoples back then did terrible things by modern western standards.
Slavery, for example, was standard practice worldwide, including within Africa, until a few hundred years ago and was stamped out by force primarily by the British.
Might makes right and moral relativism were the global operating standards. The west has pushed for right independent of might and moral absolutism, which is a far better way to live.
