Detailed explanation-1: -Traditionally, hunting was done with chipped stone-tipped wooden spears and bows and arrows. The bow was most common, and animals were stalked and shot at close range. Bows were flat, with a simple curve, and made of well-seasoned hickory, ash, elm, hemlock, or white oak.
Detailed explanation-2: -For the most part, the Indians caught their fish in net-like obstructions called weirs, which they placed across streams or channels in much the same way as modern pound-netters catch the seasonal runs of striped bass or shad.
Detailed explanation-3: -In fall, they harvested crops and hunted for foods to preserve and keep for the winter. The Native Americans used natural resources in every aspect of their lives. They used animal skins (deerskin) as clothing. Shelter was made from the material around them (saplings, leaves, small branches, animal fur).
Detailed explanation-4: -They made their tools largely from wood, bark, bone, and sometimes stone. They hunted with traps, nets, clubs, bows and arrows, spears, and bolas. Bolas were used in the steppes and plains and the Gran Chaco.
