What was the chipewyan's weapons?

Answer 1

The Potawatomi used exactly the same kinds of weapons as all their neighbours: bows, war clubs, knives and (later) guns obtained from traders.

Potawatomi bows were about 50 to 54 inches tall, made of ash or some other hard, white wood, sometimes with one edge of the bow cut with a series of shallow curves like scallops. One such bow has these curves painted alternately green and orange. Strings were of rawhide (instead of the usual sinew).

War arrows were 23 to 25.5 inches long, made from split timber or tree shoots and fitted with just two hawk or turkey feathers and metal or stone points. Some arrows for hunting birds and small animals had no points but had swollen, blunt wooden heads and three turkey feathers. The nocks for the string were cut in a very distinctive tribal style.

War clubs came in different styles, but a favourite seems to be the "ball-headed" type, carved in one piece from hardwood with a ball on the end of a curving handle. Some had a spike or knife blade set into the ball and metal tacks were used for decoration.

Answer 2

Before contact with European explorers the Ojibwa/Chippewa/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.
