Today, the white people came to us again wanting to trade. We gave them fur in return for more of these things they call “guns”. I think the official name for these weapons are “Flintlock Muskets”. These things shoot metal muskets faster than the eye can see. They have greater range, accuracy, and penetration than our bow and arrows, so now we prefer them in war. We can use these against other tribes we want to move out of our territory. Sadly though, the supply of these guns have caused for a higher immortality rate for us Natives. Another downside to them is that they take away the element of surprise, due to the loudness. We also use them for hunting our food.
