The Indian style of hunting is called still-hunting. "The still-hunter is the ultimate predator who challenges a buck's primary senses by sharing the same wind currents, terrain features and vegetation." Indian style consists of slow and deliberate preparation. The still hunter does not sit and wait, instead he is an active participant in the scheme of things. Stalking a deer takes time and patience. In order to challenge a buck in its natural habitat you have to become one with the woods. You cannot be a stranger to the woods, you have to be able to move around with grace and have the senses of the deer itself. http://www.edersbow.com/hunting-indian-style/
The weapons that the Indians chose from were very simple yet effective tools. I say the word tools because Indians either didn't have access to metal weapons or they didn't care to use them. They relied on sharpened stones and heavy blunt objects. Bows, spears, and clubs were the main three that they used. Indians preferred the efficient way of killing an animal. They believed in the spirit and made sure to kill with as little pain and suffering as possible. They cherished every part of the animal. They used every part not only for food but for clothing, shelter, and more weapons. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/handbook/facts/indian_hunting.htm
