Best Answer

Yes. During the French-Indian War, French forces armed allied Indian tribes with guns to conduct guerrilla assaults against the British and the Colonists.

Before the French-Indian War, the French, British and Spanish traded guns with the Indians in exchange for Indian knowledge and resources.

Did the native Americans use guns and spears?

The native Amerindian tribes had only the few firearms supplied by early colonists, and mostly used traditional weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, axes, and tomahawks. The full-scale arming and training of Native Americans began around the French and Indian War (1754-1763), as both the French and British supplied weapons to their allied tribes. The arms mostly consisted of muskets and flintlocks.
