How did the Shawnee make spears?

The Shawnee made spears by selecting suitable hardwoods for the shaft, often using trees like hickory or ash for their strength and flexibility. They would shape the wood into a long, straight pole through a process of carving and sanding. For the spear tip, they typically used stone, bone, or metal points, which were securely attached to the shaft using natural adhesives, sinew, or rawhide. This craftsmanship reflected their deep understanding of materials and hunting needs.
