I do wonder just how effective that shield was against arrows.

You see this coming at you out of an early PNW morning fog in dense woodland; you'll quantum shit yourself so hard that pants you've never worn will be full.

Being an Iroquois dude would have been so cool. Their settlements were matriarchal because women did all the planting, harvesting and cooking with the caveat that men could spend their entire life just hunting or waging unending war on other tribes with their bros led by warchiefs. They basically exterminated a bunch of neighbouring tribes including most of the St Lawrence Valley Iroquoians by the time that the Europeans showed up

why was the pnw so kino?
>>
>>64190488
It probably was - why make a shield if it isn't effective after all? And while the natives adopted firearms quickly archery and melee still persisted.
Spanish dragoons in the New World also carried shields as they faced the tribes.

It just is.

>why make a shield if it isn't effective after all

Is there any evidence tribes used shields before the Spanish arrived, or are rawhide shields just more cargo cult shit because the white guys with shiny rock clothes and boomsticks had them?

Someone watched too many Winnetou movies and forgot that you obviously can't get Native American actors in fucking Yugoslavia.
These guys are Chinks 10k years removed and with a meat-heavy diet. Not blokes from Birmingham who had a pint too many.

Indian bows were pretty weak, so probably plenty effective.

It's not cargo cult if it works dumbass.

Substitute Winnetou for whatever movie gave the popular image of how the natives look like in the US, then.

I prefer the German warrior kind:

I sometimes wonder what the world would be like if the PNW had become dominant across the world and stuck with the wood working focus.

It's a pet peeve of mine from [spoiler]/co/ since Disney artists back in the day were very aware of the difference and made sure to draw them using different techniques. Even spread across the ocean since Japanes call Americanized girls "Pocahontas" as they copy the Asian 10/10 look in the US, which is very different from the local 10/10 and Disney's Pocahontas is their best point of reference for it.[/spoiler]

Anything is better than getting shot in the body, plus its not like their bows were outputting as much force as say an english longbow

Actsually it's more likely they are siberians, or were, at some far far far off point.
