What weapons did shawnee indians use for hunting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Shawnee was originally an Eastern Woodland tribe. They used a variety of weapons for hunting, warfare, and self-protection. The weapons changed over the years as contact with the American, English, French, and Spanish grew.

Some primary weapons were: bow and arrows (bow was usually hardwood from 54-72 inches long and was flat ) Arrows were of saplings, river cane, or hardwood.

Knives: Flint knapped into points, antler, and then into various trade knives

Tomahawk: bone, Stone, and then trade metal versions

Gun: mostly .50 caliber smooth-bore muskets

Clubs: ball-headed warclub (a root twisted into a ball used to strike)

Limited weapons: lance/spear.

The Shawnee had a special weapon that I have not seen elsewhere. It was a long pole 4-6 feet with what looks like a bowling pin on top. It was thrown to entangle the feet of men and horses.

Why were the native Canadians called Indian's?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because Columbus actually believed he had reached India. The misnomer still hasn't completely disappeared, and it's been over five hundred years now (old habits die hard). But more often than not, they are now properly referred to in the USA as "Native Americans", and in Canada by a term I like even better: "First Peoples".

Asked by Wiki User

One of the customs of the Shawnee Indians was to carry their babies in a cradleboard. This allowed the baby to be carried on the parents back. It was a custom for both men and women to wear their hair long. The exception to the custom of long hair was the warriors. Warriors customarily wore their hair in a Mohawk style.

What is the Shawnee word for Great Spirit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Navajo do not use the phrase "great spirit" . Although I could give you a literal translation, I think you mean the Navajo name for the monotheistic Christian God. That word is: Diyin Ayóí Átʼéii

God in the Navajo religion, meaning a supernatural being is: Haashch'ééh

A male god is Haashch'ééh biką'. Female is Haashch'ééh ba'áád.

There are many different important deities in Navajo thought and they all have their own names.

The marks above vowels are high tone marks, they change meaning as much as having a different vowel.

The marks under some vowels mean they are nasalized..

The Ch' and t' sounds are glottalized consonants, they are different than regular ch and t sounds. The mark between after the ba in the last word is a consonant called a glottal stop, We have it in uh'oh.

What kind of transportation did the Shawnee Indians use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Native Americans lacked large beasts of burden such as camels and horses. Their only domesticated animal was the dog, which was used to carry loads and to draw the travois. Native peoples employed the travois to transport household utensils, weapons, tools, tipi covers, firewood, and meat, but a dog could haul only about sixty pounds, which meant that human beings, particularly women, did most of the carrying themselves.

In time, the introduction of the horse was to have far-reaching effects among the Plains Indians. The horse was about eight times as efficient as the dog: it could carry on its back or haul on a travois a load four times heavier than the load a dog could manage, and it could travel twice as far in a day. Horse transport allowed Indians to carry more tools and utensils, extra foodstuffs, and larger tipis, and suddenly nomadism did not require giving up all but the bare minimum of possessions. It also made it possible for Indians to hunt bison more effectively, and this enticed horticulturists–the Omahas, for example–to increase the role of hunting in their economies.

The Shawnee language is a Central Algonquian language spoken in parts of central and northeastern Oklahoma

by only around 200 Shawnee, making it very endangered. It was originally spoken in Ohio, West Virginia,

Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. It is closely related to the other Algonquian languages Mesquakie-Sauk (Sac and

Fox and Kickapoo. The stem for the word Shawnee, shawa, is historically preserved as a word meaning

"warm," in reference to the Shawnee weather beings of the sun, and this word was also rooted in the word for

"south wind." The Shawnee considered the Delaware Indians as their spiritual and cultural grandfathers, as well

as the root for all of the Algonquin tribes. Identical language proves their oral histor
