What weapons did ojibwa Indians use?

Answer 1

Before contact with European explorers the Ojibwe bands used bows and arrows as their main weapon, with clubs of various types as secondary weapons. Guns were supplied by white traders from an early date, leading to the bow being used far less than in earlier times.

Ojibwe bows were made of ash, hickory or birch and ranged from about 43 to 67 inches in length, often entirely stained a dull red. Arrows were of split hardwood or second-growth shoots, with early points of bone or wood, later metal points from traders. Fletchings were from golden eagles or turkeys (a very unusual arrow survives with 5 flicker feathers) and arrows were from 24 to 35 inches long, usually with very shallow nocks for the string.

War clubs varied in shape and size; some were huge ball-headed clubs carved from hardwood, often with bone (later metal) spikes added; the gunstock-style club might have a trade knife blade fitted.

Answer 2

The Ojibwa, Ojibwe or Chippewa people used bows and arrows for war and hunting. Their secondary weapons were various types of war club, often with trade knife blades set into the wooden club.

As soon as white traders began dealing with the Ojibwe (in return for furs), they obtained guns and ammunition - these enabled them to drive their Sioux enemies further south and west.
