richardzane:
if you are ever in DC try to get permission to look at Native American bows and arrows at the Smithsonian at their Cultural Resource Center.
there MAY even be some digitalized and thus, pictures online .
I was there for two weeks with a team looking for Wyandot/Wendat material so didn't have time to see everything i wanted to
, but i caught sight of trays and trays of arrows ,shelves and shelves of bows.
I had them pull a few trays of arrows. often they aren't marked well, and they appreciate any help from people who
can recognize woods used and tribal affiliation. they will actually follow you and write stuff down you tell them.
