To the old lady or oneeye and have em retool into something else and give ya a new point or do it yourself . I know if i was in hunting parties putting food on the plate I would make sure my family had skills to make me points. Common sense....
Called division of labor...... no welfare as a way of life back then.... makes me wonder how negros made it as far as they did......


I believe that the old folks and women made most of the points.

Indians also had strong beliefs about blood. That's why you find so many "perfect" points in Indian camps... Certainly within a certain direction and proximity of a campfire in the Indian camp.

Once the point had drawn blood, it was removed, and another point attached to the shaft of the dart, spear, or arrow. They usually did that while sitting around a campfire, and would toss the bloodied point on the ground.
