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.
