- In this video I show what common Native American Weapons whould have been for tribes in the eastern USA around the 1700s. A little disclaimer I'm in no way claiming to be apart of any of these Native tribes by doing this video. Hope you enjoy.
I do apologise for the low volume I plan to try to fix that in future videos. Also I will be sure to do more close ups. Thanks for viewing anyhow.
As a Native American, why you wearing that stuff then? did you buy all that stuff at the gift shop??xD "what native american weapons wUoLda LooKEd lIKe"..medicine wheel..vrrrr baaad dude...you could have just as easily presented your movie props in pants and a t shirt. Maybe had a real native there to ask questions. It's 2020..That's the problem with you wannabes. You think you're presenting knowledge from the tribes but you actually look like a clown and are going off your own assumption of what we carried. 100% you tell your white friends you're part cherokee xD
Give the man a break he took his time to try and inform you and was even fully dressed authentic. Loved it.
Not really authentic no leather, beeds or bones just a feather tucked
That is not authentic, how do you know what is authentic
@@butticsyon5804how do you?
@big_sk4ian424 by the 1700, this was very authentic to my Cherokee ancestors... in fact he's missing a turban.
@butticsyon5804 not that hard to do. Look up "Cherokee War Dance"
Had thought Spears would have been one of the most important weapons used but that just shows how little I know about the subject!
Great 👍 job on the show it's funto see I'm 59 myself part Cherokee from Neb.
Woodland Indians have used shields for centuries but with the invention of the gun, shields were rendered obsolete and warfare became more flexible as small bands of warriors could go out and ambush their enemies. Although, during the late 1500's to late 1600's (I'm assuming this is the time woodland natives developed shields) Iroquoian, Algonquin and people living in the great lakes used shields for warfare. Notably they used it during the beaver wars.
Great video. I'm Navajo, and I've always been curious about my people's weapons, and battle tactics. So would it be possible for you to do a video on southwestern Native American weapons, clothing, and so on?
I really enjoyed your presentation and subscribed. I agree with the helpful suggestions on the volume and getting a better look at these weapons. Looking forward to seeing your next installment.
Hello from a Cherokee citizen, also of Chickasaw, Choctaw and Catawba lineage. I enjoyed your video greatly. I didn't learn much from my level, but it's a great video for beginners. Thanks!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
good to see you here i am also chickasaw and creek from alabama
I saw a Mohawk do a rapid fire demonstration with a bow and arrow at Fort Ticonderoga and he was so skilled that he was reaching for a new arrow from his quiver almost before the previous arrow was launched. And all hit the target.
That would have been an amazing site to witness.
Im a dark skinned indigenous American and I'm not offended by this video. Keep up the good work brother. To the masses quit being racist by being "woke" judge a man's character not his skin
Well said!
"Woke" ok buddy
@@youngking2503woke
Very thorough and interesting video. Thank you!
Hey man great video, this is exactly what I was looking for. I live in mass and I love woodlands here
As a WMAT Native and Navajo This is a cool video! Keep up the good work!
I learn new things, thanks for putting this together
Really good content. Thanks for sharing. Immediately subscribed. Greetings from Germany
Excellent video!!! A close up on every weapon would be nice!!
This is a very informative video. Awesome.
Subbed. I hope you can fix the volume for the next one. Really like your content.
I enjoyed it looking forward to more.
Good vid BTW! I'm impressived by your collection.
Thanks for the vide,. don't see much on the native american side in those eras love it.
Good info , well spoken. Cool collection
Well done, very informative, thank you 👍
thank you for this informative video. Extremely interesting. This looks quite like my area in upstate SC
The gunstock club was carried by “chingachgook” in last of the mohicans
Found this very interesting, sub’d for future, Maybe have the camera staged a bit closer, would help viewers see what you are discussing,and it might help with audio. Kudos for doing this
A minor critique if you don't mind them. It would be really nice if you brought them closer to the camera. I'd be interested in getting a better look at the decorations and craftsmanship.
Yes, I apologise for that I realized the same thing upon uploading I plan on doing that in future videos.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 I agree but thanks for showing those weapons! great history lesson
usuallie watt impresses? me. i presume Dülce? decörum is extänsifflie used in cults. alöng
with (the äccömpanighing?) trigönömettrye and numbers... pöör KiDz -.-
löräm chipsüm?
Thanks for sharing
Liked your video
Very interesting 👌
Very good video, thank you!
Volume to low show weapons closer to camera otherwise good.
Great video! Saludos from WA, EVERGREEN
Thank you for your awrsome presentation. I own a gunstock war club. I also like the tomahawk and the knife. Im from Massachusetts so this is good to know as there are wiodland tribes in my state.
Ayyy I haven’t seen you since cooks forest bro cool k found your channel
Awesome Video Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great presentation.👍🏻
Thanx for the long range video
Awesome video, thanks.
Thank you!
Awesome 👍😎 very cool .
Great video. basically have the same complaints as everyone else, show the weapons to us. WE WANT TO SEE THEM 🤠
You did awesome
All you need is a throat mic, a second camera for close ups, and to be facing into the sunlight buddy.
Enjoyed the info.
Could you please do one on the history of stick ball thanks
Would’ve enjoyed some close-up views as well. Interesting/informative video.
The reason he did it do any close-ups because he's a white guy and not date of American he might gotten bit by on mosquito or something
Huh? What does his race have to do with being bitten by mosquitos lmao?
That was fantastic
so why did others have shieldce ?
because öff disc shäpe ?
Cool info , what state are you in bro ? is there somebody that makes some to sell ?
Great video
Kaqchikel Maya here, just wanted to say amazing video, very interesting see how are peoples all over the continent fought back against the people from across the Eastern Sea
As far as throwing tomahawks there are many newspaper accounts of the times reporting on skirmishes with natives where it is specifically mentioned that tomahawks were thrown in battle.
So I assume that they were, at least with some tribes
Love the vidio
I just wanna know, the flint hatchets was used as war weapons in the pre-columbian americas? It exists brass hatchets in the pre-columbean USA, like the bronze hatchets in the purepecha nation from México n andinous cultures?
For the most part In what's now the USA Flint and stone and wood clubs/hatchet where used for war. As far as metal goes in the area of the US 48 states There is evidence to support that tribes along the East where resourcing copper pre Columbus but was normally in small amount for jewelry and other trinkets nothing really large like a hachet.
I've heard a lot of types of English, but what dialect is "tooken"? (spelling check didn't like that 😂)
Zoom ins please... very interesting
A close up would be great, can’t really see details
This guy saying that tomahawks might have been thrown by native American Indians in the 1700s keep in mind and the time of the Three kingdoms in China they were techniques to throw swords just in case you need to throw the sword and medieval Europe there was also techniques to throw swords at intermediate ranges in combat
Turn the volume up brother
Very interesting video. Unfortunately the sound is very faint.
Loved the video but I think the camra should have been closer as you can hardly see the weapon layout.
But still great video
The audio is very low. It looks like an interesting video, but I can't hear it.
This dude would have been scary as hell to fight back then. Couldn’t imagine seeing 100 dudes like him that want me dead😅
good stuff , maybe do a follow-up , invite an elder if you can , I'm sure you'll get offers in the comments ,
How did you go about making that gunstock war club?
I simply cut the shape out on a band saw stained the wood drilled hole to stick in a metal arrow head.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 That is interestingly simple. I'm trying to make one out of oak. I have the rough shape for it, however I would like to know anything that I should keep in mind when going about this?
@@ethanstang9941 honestly I'm probably not the best source to ask. Mine was very simply construct in my woodshop class.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 It looks effective for sure. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Dear Jimmy, I’m glad to see some younger blood getting involved in the eastern woodland native Indians. I’ve been doing living history for over 35 years On this time period. I see a great desire in you to share your information. Not knowing your knowledge base or the research you have done. Please be careful with stating your opinion as historical fact. You will offend others who argue your research is not through enough. If I have an area that I am lacking in in true facts. I must get confirmation from at least 3 different historical documentation on that one subject alone before I use it as fact. That you for your post and continue your research you will enjoy what you find. Best Reguards Mr. M from Delaware
Hello. I greatly appreciate your comment and I'm always open to constructive criticism. I've been into eastern reacting for a few years now and I do try to make sure any thing I state I've learned from multiple sources but I'm the first to admit I don't know everything and there much to learn and I truly don't want to offend anyone who may know more then me. But that being said when I first got involved in this topic there was little on UA-cam for me to learn from and it was that fact that made me decide to make these videos just to help share a little knowledge on in my eyes a dieing art.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 early colonial period firearm sales were against the law and carried heavy penalties for trading guns to native Indians. As well as any alcohol because native Indians lacked enzymes to help process The alcohol. You have to go back even further in time to the 1600s and start your research. You’ll find what was traded legally and what wasn’t. What tribes traded with French and who traded with Dutch before the British took over trade rights in the colonies. The difference in which the two countries interacted on the native level. Sincerely Mr. M
@@harrymorris9271 if you have any books/sites or anything else you recommend for research id love hear them. Will admit as far as early colonal law goes I'm no expert. I Know of a few sources tho that mention trade/natives aquiring guns around french indain war era
One source of mine is www.mpm.edu
The wabanaki confederacy tribes were part of the reason of the ban we picked up to many guns and the Europeans got cold feet also stone war clubs were popular not just plain jane rocks you see, but full axe looking clubs
Do you have/know of any armors?
In thee eastern woodland some tribes like the huroun where know to wear woven Reed mats as armor early on against arrow and such but this practice quickly died out when gun became popular. On the great plains tribes wore beaded bone breast plate and chokers while being a status peace they also worked as a armor against primitive weapons.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 ok... the reason I ask im trying to make armor for my gf so we can spar german knight v brave...
@@jimmylivhistory7059 do you know how I could make some? The weaved stuff as a bottom layer and the beads as decor overtop
Do you think shields msy have been used before firearms became available? Shields in the woods can be a hindrance depending on size & shape but many peoples around the world who live in thick forests or jungles did have shields. So apart from firearms negating the effectiveness of shields I personally don't see a reason why they would not want to use shields. Although I am no expert on the subject g could bevvery wrong.
Good video, however, the sound was very low volume so i had to use the closed captioning.Subbed and thumbs up.
Thank you, I do apologise for the low sound and will try to fix that in my next video.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 I thought you would like to know. Maybe you could have some close-ups. Please include some of the tactics in which these weapons were used.
If you could include information about the Shawnee I would expecially appreciate it
@@stephen8433 what exactly are you looking to hear about the Shawnee? As far as tatics woodland natives used I'm not to familiar with many. I do know throwing/scalping methods that whould pretain to the Shawnee as well. That chould be a future video idea.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 Just anything about them, such as their culture, way of life, other Native American allies or enemies and relations with the White Man.
@@stephen8433 Well the Shawnee originally lived in Ohio area down to Tennessee. They where a consider to be northeast woodland tribe who lived in wigwams. They primarily hunted and farmed for survival. They fought the white man fercly for there land being involved in french/indain war, Pontiac rebellion, Lord's dunmores war, Americans Rev and little turtle war. And never completely ceded till the defeat of Tecumseh. During this time they made allies with many native tribes such as Miami, Lennie lanape, huroun and Ojibwe. If interested further in the Shawnee I suggest getting a book on the topic for I'll probably never do a video on them inperticlar.
Is Georgia and Alabama part of this area
That was more of the southeastern native American domain Wich where similar to the woodlands region but different area with different tribes and a some what different culture.
Great information but can’t tell what you are showing
Did you make those weapons yourself?
Thank you, I did make some of them like the gunstock war club but others I aquired over the years.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 I have seen videos on how to make gunstock war clubs, but I have yet to find a video that shows how to source wood for such a weapon.
@@ethanstang9941 I'm afarid I can't help you there. I made that club in woodshop when I was in highschool. We used any scrap wood from lumber mills as far as I know.
@@jimmylivhistory7059 It's ok Sir, I want to make replicas of my own, but my knowledge is limited. I do have a root ball club, but I want to carve designs into the club as well.
@@davetenbears1154 I made a couple of rootball clubs myself. I was directed to use hard maple, ironwood, oak, and hickory. I was thinking for a gunstock war club, I need to use a piece of wood that is not just long enough, but wide enough for the crooked end of the stock. Would this assumption be accurate?
cannot hear you
So, I gotta say: UA-cam threw this video at me, and they somehow knew that I was intensely interested in the Eastern Woodland pre-contact tribes, maybe they traced me through my travels back East last year. You gotta remake this video with the sound louder, and also speak more clearly and specifically about these weapons were likely to have been used, under which circumstances, for battle, for execution, for the 12 yr old kids to engage in ritualistic torture and final killing. Plenty of accounts of prisoners, eyes pierced out, kids get to kill them , while adults preside, and give a kick or a head knock, so the kids can kill the victim. Gets them prepared for battle. Weapons for ritualistic torture were different, but how? How did they decorate these weapons? Which were for kids, which for adults? Which were for battle with a neighboring tribe: these tribes were in constant warfare. You have done a tremendous amount of research, this much is clear. Please expand on your ideas, expand on your research, you will get millions of views. Kind regards, Ted
The sound seemed low. Hard to hear. Otherwise enjoyable.
I'm Choctaw
Fuck yeah
Love the content. But you need to video a lot closer to the weapons. Can't really see any details. Looking forward to another video. Best of luck.👣
Yáh'áh'téh....
That means hello in Navajo greetings from the Navajo Reservation it is interesting to hear about other Native tribes what their weapons were us navajos we did more guerrilla warfare hit and run attacks just like our cousins Apaches we shared the same language athabascan
Really played "dress up" just to show case the weapons 😂😂
I don’t know bout some of your research, 1700 mid century certain tribes, had an extensive and older trading system such as the ojibway. 1750s. We were not loading or making ammo for it, symbol of status. Warriors could volley three arrows at an opponent, like a repeater. enjoyed some of the other tools,n weapons. Odawa which is me, we planted rocks on the roots of small trees n replant. roots would bind rock, and give u handle
ок
My eighth great grandfather was George Augustus Ninigret a Narraganset chief and when he signed agreements with the colonist he would leave a war club as a reminder he would defend his peoples interest.
Can't hear a word u said
.also camera too far away.
I think you done a fine job everybody just likes to b**ch
Interesting video, but bad sound
Bad ass outfit! Can’t see the weapons
My man said scalping knife.
Yeah
sheath*
What nation are you?
You misrepresented the value of arrows .If the bow was so sidelined by the gun .10 arrows would not have been worth one horse .
Incidentally that bow you showed looked like a plains bow !
I did not mean to misrepresente the bow it did still have it uses to a eastern native. However bow/arrow held far higher clout on the plaines where horses where more often used as a trade item. As for the bow in this video it was intended to be more a visual aid.
Without zooming in on the weapon in hand the interesting video makes no sence..
Liked the content but you have to talk into the camera buddy. I realize you like your collection but your looking so hard at them your talking to it not the viewers.
You also had everything in shadows in the bush. You got to think about your lighting and where the sun is. I could barely see the objects they are so far away. I would like to see a up close of all the items and then talk about the item as I see it up close.
Ah Ho.. WTF?
Too much Um Ah ,can't see artifacts !
um, uh - I loved his video. He spoke true to life. I'm sick of the slick infomercials on youtube nowadays. Everyone has a slick soundtrack, camera angles, dollies... it's refreshing to see someone set up their phone and just shoot the damn thing.
in assassin's creed 3, it's about natives and their history back then, my favorite weapon was the war club.
Cannot see anything.
NO SUCH WORD AS TOOKEN.
Can't even hear what you said
Damn, did you watch the video? Audio is way too low.
this reminds me of bubbles from trailer park boys
Cannot hear a FUCKING thing 🤨
