What weapons did cree Indians use?

Answer 1

Well the tools were spears.

Answer 2

A wide range of tools were used by the Crow, but generally these were the same as the tools used by all other Plains groups.

Women used "berry mashers", hammers with stone heads on a short wooden handle, to pound meat and berries together before drying them for winter storage. Small wooden bowls were used by warriors to mix paints.

Men used "arrow straighteners" - sections of animal bone with holes cut in them, used like wrenches. They also used sections of abrasive stone (such as sandstone) with grooves for smoothing their arrow shafts.

For fire-starting, the Crows originally used the bow-drill, where a short hardwood stick was rotated in a depression in a softwood board using a small bow. With downward pressure the friction produced hot embers. Later, flints and steels were obtained from traders to make the task easier.

Women used awls of bone when sewing hides; mortars and pestles for grinding medicines were of stone.

The travois or "drag" was an arrangement of tipi poles attached to the shoulders of a horse and dragging on the ground behind. Loads could be attached to this frame for transportation.

Bone scrapers were used for preparing animal hides; later small metal blades were set in a bone or wood handle to make hide scrapers.

Answer 3

The Crow Tribe used spears. Their main food source is

buffalo. they would also hunt other animals such as the north American elk and the deer.

They also used short but powerful bows made of hardwood and sometimes backed with animal sinew.

Answer 4

bow and arrow

ANSWER: The American Indian had numerous weapons, many simply dependent upon their environment. Some weapons were the hatchet, knives, bow and arrows, rocks and after the European invasion, guns.

An American Indian should never be referred to as "red" as history shows this term actually referred to their blood (killing) rather than the color of their skin.

Answer 5

The Crows were renowned for their short, powerful bows of horn and sinew - the horn was taken from the bighorn sheep and cut into sections that were glued to a wooden core and backed with animal sinew. They also made bows entirely of wood; arrows were of dogwood shafts fitted with metal points obtained from traders.

Earlier arrowheads had been made of stone, but the Crows quickly forgot this after metal points had been available - they later claimed that the stone points had been made by mythical dwarves.

Spears and coup sticks were made of long saplings, the coup sticks were only used to strike an enemy in order to claim a "war honour", not to injure him.

Knives were obtained from traders and had beautifully-beaded sheaths made by Crow women; guns were also obtained in trade.

Some Crow warriors used war clubs made from the lower jaw of a horse or elk, sharpened to a point. Other clubs had stone heads or used two buffalo horns fixed to make a double-pointed head.

The materials used were wood, horn, stone, bone and metal, with rawhide for bindings.

Round shields about 23 inches across were made from the thick skin of a bull buffalo's neck, fitted with a painted deerskin cover.
