What tools and weapons did the Lakota Tribe use?

Answer 1

Before contact with white Americans the many tribes of the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota used whatever was available in their own locality to make their tools. These included hide scrapers from buffalo bone, hammers (for meat and berries) from stone and wood, arrow-straighteners from buffalo bone, arrow smoothers from sandstone blocks, awls for sewing from bone splinters, knives of sharp flint or chert stone and so on.

From the very first contact with white people, metal tools were a very common trade item. These included axes, knives, files, saws, hammers, sheet metal and many other items.

The earlier bone hide scrapers were replaced with a metal blade attached to a wood or bone handle; metal awls replaced bone ones; metal trade knives replaced those of flint or chert. Stone hammers continued to be used for pounding meat and berries and arrows continued to be prepared using stone tools, but in general metal goods took over from the original types.
