Synopsis Native American Tools and Weapons by : Rob Staeger
The tools and weapons used by Native American tribes were not just functional. Often, these tools and weapons were created during a special ceremony or ritual, so there was a spiritual significance to them as well. Shamans or medicine men would bless such items in the hope that they would serve their owners well. This book discusses the primary tools and weapons made by tribes in specific regions as well as how these tools and weapons were created and used.

Synopsis Thundersticks by : David J. Silverman
The adoption of firearms by American Indians between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries marked a turning point in the history of North America’s indigenous peoples—a cultural earthquake so profound, says David Silverman, that its impact has yet to be adequately measured. Thundersticks reframes our understanding of Indians’ historical relationship with guns, arguing against the notion that they prized these weapons more for the pyrotechnic terror guns inspired than for their efficiency as tools of war. Native peoples fully recognized the potential of firearms to assist them in their struggles against colonial forces, and mostly against one another. The smoothbore, flintlock musket was Indians’ stock firearm, and its destructive potential transformed their lives. For the deer hunters east of the Mississippi, the gun evolved into an essential hunting tool. Most importantly, well-armed tribes were able to capture and enslave their neighbors, plunder wealth, and conquer territory. Arms races erupted across North America, intensifying intertribal rivalries and solidifying the importance of firearms in Indian politics and culture. Though American tribes grew dependent on guns manufactured in Europe and the United States, their dependence never prevented them from rising up against Euro-American power. The Seminoles, Blackfeet, Lakotas, and others remained formidably armed right up to the time of their subjugation. Far from being a Trojan horse for colonialism, firearms empowered American Indians to pursue their interests and defend their political and economic autonomy over two centuries.

Synopsis Native American Weapons by : Colin F. Taylor
Featuring 155 color photographs and illustrations, Native American Weapons surveys weapons made and used by American Indians north of present-day Mexico from prehistoric times to the late nineteenth century, when European weapons were in common use. Colin F. Taylor describes the weapons and their roles in tribal culture, economy and political systems. He categorizes the weapons according to their function - from striking, cutting and piercing weapons, to those with defensive and even symbolic properties - and he documents the ingenuity of the people who crafted them.

Synopsis Native American Blowguns by : Douglas Meyer
Doug Meyer is one of the foremost experts on primitive survival skills in the world. In this book, Meyer leans upon years of research, mentoring, trial and error, and expert instruction to deliver a historical and instructional guide for building a blowgun likely utilized by the Native Americans of the American Southeast. This volume of work is the culmination of Doug's life's work and research, and the knowledge within it is something not easily found in other primitive skills books on the market today. In his historical approach, Meyer relays his understanding from years of pouring over historical documentation of world-renowned ethnographers and learning from the primitive skills experts who mentored him. The Native American blowguns of the American Southeast are largely a mystery because they would have only been constructed from natural elements, and time has eroded all evidence of them away. However, there are clues to their existence, and part of that lives on in the heritage of many of the Native American tribes in the American Southeast who still practice the skills that were passed down from their ancestors. Meyer takes his best-educated guess to unlock the mystery surrounding this famous, primitive weapon. Another facet of this body of work is that it delivers a masterclass to the reader on building their own blowgun from natural elements, just as Meyer surmises the Early Native Americans would have done. From start to finish, you can see the years of learning and working with this primitive weapon come to life from off the page. The instruction within will shave years off one's learning curve with these simple, yet complex hunting instruments. It's not often you are able to really see the heart in a book containing subject matter like this, but Doug Meyer is the rare exception. His love of learning, history, and primitive skills are apparent, and his legacy will be this book, as he hopes it preserves and inspires interest in learning primitive skills that may otherwise, eventually, be lost to time.
