About Native American Arrowheads
Native American arrowheads are one of the most common arrowheads you will find, both from collectors and on your hunts. This is because they had a such a large population of tribes comprised of the old hunter and gatherer system. Being that the Native Americans hunted daily to feed their families and survive, they had to create a lot of arrowheads to use, many of which are still around.
Arrowheads were one of the Native Americans most vital tools for daily survival. By adding a simple point to the end of an arrow, they were able to instantly have lethal hunting weapon. Essentially, these arrowheads helped their survival. Just think of how difficult life would have been without them. Hunting wouldn't be too successful if you're shooting a stick with no point at an animal.
Not only were they used on arrows, but arrowheads were also places on spears, darts, and other weapons for hunting.
If you're an avid arrowhead collector, then you've probably seen a ton of different Native American arrowheads all made differently. You will find they vary in size, shape, craftsmanship, and the type of stone they are made of. A trip to the museum will often give you a sense of just how diverse their tools and arrowheads were made.
Native American Arrowheads Today
After hundreds of years, Native American arrowheads are still found fairly easy across the U.S. In fact, if you've ever found an arrowhead here in North America, there's a good chance it's one made by the Native Americans.
If you want to go looking for Native American arrowheads, here are some tips:
- Don't go on any land without permission from the owner. This is the golden rule when it comes arrowhead hunting. Going on any land you don't have permission to is both dangerous and illegal. But, taking a few minutes to ask the landowner can leave you with new hunting spot.
- Covering ground is important when you go arrowhead hunting, so pack light. You will need to move freely and being bogged down by heavy gear will only slow your progress. I typically carry a small backpack filled with essentials like food, water, a map, and a compass.
- Look closely! When you're hunting for Native American arrowheads, it's easy to simply overlook them. Remember, these arrowheads have been on the ground for a long time. Since then, they've been washed away by the rain and blown by the wind.
Native Americans
The term "Native American" refers to the people indigenous to North America. There is still some debate as to the correct name to call them.
Many refer to themselves as "Indians" or "American Indians". They were originally called Indians when Christopher Columbus mistakenly thought they were from the Indies .
The Native American population and culture still flourishes today with some 2.5 million registered. Many of their old traditions are still practiced and carried on.
