What sort of weapons did indigenous people use to fight the Spanish? Firearms1Gold2Iron3Simple4

Indigenous people primarily used simple weapons to fight the Spanish as they did not have access to firearms, gold, or iron for weapon construction. These simple weapons included bows and arrows, spears, clubs, and other tools made from available materials such as wood, stone, and bone. Some groups also used more complex weapons like atlatls (spear-throwers) and macuahuitls (wooden swords with obsidian blades). It's important to note that the effectiveness of these weapons varied greatly, and they were generally less effective than the firearms and steel weapons used by the Spanish.
