The Beothuks, an Indigenous people of Newfoundland, primarily used weapons such as bows and arrows, which were made from wood and sinew.

What is beothuk religion?

The Beothuks were a North American Indian (a First Nation) tribe who lived in the Newfoundland islands until the early 1800s. They are now believed to be extinct as a distinct cultural entity, although survivors might have intermarried with other Amerindian natives or even with European settlers. (A mitochondrial DNA sequence was recently found in Iceland). Contrary to what early Europeans claimed, the Beothuks believed in a set of deities ("dewis" or "kuus"), including a sun god (prefixed "magara-"), and a moon god (prefixed "washe-"). They believed in good as well as bad spirits, treating for example, the aurora boraelis (northern lights) as a messenger of good spirits. Moreover, the Beothuks believed all objects in nature have spirits (i.e. are animate) and should be treated with respect. The Beothuks were also known to have elaborate burial customs, wrapping the dead in birch bark and burying them in remote places. Unfortunately, the Beothuks were reputed to be very hostile to strangers, including other tribes and European settlers. This animosity, along with the endemic and (at that time) incurable tuberculosis, led to gradual extinction of the tribe. It is rumored, but never proven, that the European settlers carried out a sustained campaign of genocide against the Beothuks and other hostile tribes.
