Actally some still do. Spears are used to fish for Salmon in some areas. Spears were used for Buffalo hunting up untill the white Buffalo hunters slaughtered the heards into near extinction in the late 1870s. Spears & bow & arrows gave way in large part after the introduction of the gun. But still hung on in some ares for practical purposes (spears & bow & arrows don't depend of powder & ball from the white man). Bows & arrows played a major roll in the battle of the Little Bighorn (Greasy grass).
