The Dakota Indians used multiple forms of combat during wars. Most commonly the battle ax, which was an ax-like weapon used mostly for close combat. They also used many other different types of weapons. Firearms, which were guns given to the Dakota/Sioux by English settlers. A spear, which was a long, stick with a sharpened point. A Lance, which was a long wooden handle with a sharp stone or metal head. A war club, which was basically a fully-wooden ax. Some of these weapons are still used today, and will be throughout history.
