They were unfamiliar with them
B
They used them regularly
C
They had metal spears
D
They used swords and knifes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Even the bow and arrow changed with metal’s introduction. Rather than rely solely on stone, bone, or antler to produce arrowheads, American Indian men increasingly adopted and relied on metals such as iron, copper, and brass. The Hudson Bay Company had brought factory-made arrowheads to North America as early as 1671.

Detailed explanation-2: -Men made grinding stones, bows and arrows, knives and shields, also out of natural materials. Some of the materials that the Utes used to construct their tools and weapons include: stone, clay, and plant material.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Native Americans welcomed the arriving immigrants and helped them survive. Then they celebrated together, even though the Pilgrims considered the Native Americans heathens. The Pilgrims were devout Christians who fled Europe seeking religious freedom. They were religious refugees.

Detailed explanation-4: -A new study of that artifact and other traces of prehistoric mining concludes that what is known as the Old Copper Culture emerged, then mysteriously faded, far earlier than once thought. The dates show that early Native Americans were among the first people in the world to mine metal and fashion it into tools.
