It’s time for another episode of Cherokee Traditional Games! Join us as we highlight the tomahawk, discuss the tool’s history and demonstrate how it’s used in a throwing game. #Cherokee #Tomahawk #NativeAmerican
Fantastic video I had an ancestor who escaped the British at the end of the French Indian war with a Cherokee woman. Who he married and had kids with once they ran to and settled in Australia. And my family has been here since.
Seems to me those little round handled tomahawks wouldn't be as strong as the elongated shaped hole whole of an ax. They don't have the chopping power. They want to twist when they hit. Now on the other hand if you take an ax and leave the top and the blade the way it is but take a right angle grinder with a cut off wheel and cup from the bottom tip of the blade up to about half or even more straight across so that the tomahawk weighs less than half of what it did as an ax. Then you put your longer handle into that. And a metal wedge on top. No twisting on the strike with that it's a straight chopping son of a b****
