The Native Americans
also believed in the afterlife. When they killed an enemy they would take the
dead body and scalp it. This means that they would cut the head and take out the
brain. They believed that someone could not go to the afterlife if that person
didn't have their brain. So when they had the dead body they would take out the
brain so they would have less enemies in the afterlife. They did this mostly when
they fought with they European warriors, so they wouldn't have to fight the European
warriors again.
