SRAC Presents: Native Indian Stone Tools

Axes

The Native Indians used axes for many tasks including to help get their food. Just like today's axes, they were used to chop things. The Indians would cut and fall trees to obtain bark, make dugout canoes and to build lodges. They also may have chopped some of the meats or other food items that would be harder to cut with a knife. They would have also cut and broke the bones for the marrow and then made tools out if the remaining bone.
