be eating the trees in those places, and since the trees weren’t being eaten as much they grew tall and that drew in more species that liked the trees, like birds, squirrels etc., so there was a lot more biodiversity once the wolves came in. Also beavers and other river animals came in, and because they build their homes in the river, it changed how the river flowed. This proves my point because it shows that once the wolves came back they affected the deer which then affected the whole…

Indian society and diplomacy. The increased practice and importance of scalping was almost certainly a function of the resource wars among Indian groups first prompted by the arrival and early settlement of European colonists. However, this leaves the important question as to how exactly European colonists, and the resource wars their settlement caused, facilitated the growth of scalping.
