**More Rules To Come As I Think Of Them**


Native American Weapons
Obviously this rp is set in a different time period than my usual rps. So swords and stuff do not fly here...
Native Americans used many differnet kinds of weapons, so these are what you can use

1. Bow and Arrows
Part of a Native American’s livelihood for hundreds of years was the Bow and Arrow. Without the proper tools, they could not hunt for food or defend their land and people in war. You might think that the natives invented the bow and arrows. However, that is not the case. They did incorporate them as part of their arsenal for hunting and warfare. The early bow and arrows were made from the wood of various trees like cherry, ash, cedar, oak, hickory and practically any other wood available at the time. For the string, fibers were harvested from local plants like milkweed and yucca. The shaft of the arrows was primarily made from the wood native to the region. Even hardy reed grass was used in construction. For the arrow tips, there was a wide variety of materials used. Flint was a popular material as was animal bone, wood and stone. Each type of tip was constructed differently based on what was being hunted and killed. There were harpoon-like arrow tips for fishing and large blunted models for small game and birds. The fletching or end of the arrow was often made from the feathers of eagles, turkeys and hawks. However, any other birds in the local area were also fair game. The fletching part of the bow and arrows makeup was to provide a balance and create a trajectory suitable for hitting a target.
2. Tomahawk
Tomahawk was a small ax that the Indians of North America used as a tool and a weapon. Most tomahawks measured less than 18 inches (45 centimeters) long and were light enough to be used with one hand. Early tomahawks consisted of a head (top part) made of stone or bone mounted on a wooden handle. Some tomahawks ended in a ball or knob instead of a flat blade. After Europeans arrived in America, the Indians traded with them for iron tomahawk heads.
The Indians used tomahawks to chop wood, to drive stakes into the ground, and for many other purposes. In battle, warriors used their tomahawks as clubs or threw them at their enemies. Tomahawks also served as hunting weapons. The Indians used a pipe tomahawk in religious ceremonies. This kind of tomahawk had a pipe bowl on the head and a hollow handle, and it could be smoked as a ceremonial pipe. The Indians decorated these tomahawks with feathers or dyed porcupine quills.
3. Lance/Spear
The lance or spear is an important element in Native American culture and was used chiefly as a hunting tool. It grew to play a role in ornamental dress and as a weapon in battle. The lance is another example of the full use Indians made of their environment.
4. Coupe stick
Counting coup was a battle practice of Native Americans of the Great Plains. A nonviolent demonstration of bravery, it consisted of touching an enemy warrior, with the hand or with a coup stick, then running away unharmed. Risk of injury or death was involved, should the other warrior respond violently. The phrase "counting coup" can also refer to the recounting of stories about battle exploits. It can also involve stealing items from the enemy.
