Tomahawks were one of the main weapons used by Native American Indians. However their arsenal included a variety of weapons used for hunting and fighting. Some of them were spears (they were long sticks with sharp points on them), bows and arrows,war clubs and daggers. Tomahawks were used for hunting and fights, and so was the bow and arrow. The war club was only used for war. The dagger was used for both also. The Way They Hunted The indians that lived onthe plains took weeks planning for a hunt. Everyone had to work together to have a sucessful hunt. The warriors dressed in buffalo or wolf skins and scare the buffalo toward the men that were waiting for the buffalo to run past and then shoot them with bows and arrows, hit them with tomahawks, stab them with daggers, throw spears at them or any thing else they could use to kill the buffalo. Then the women and children would drag all the meat back to the camp.
