TOOLS

The Indian people made tools from materials that were
available. Bones, shells, rocks and sticks were used to mike the
equipment needed for hunting, fishing and food gatnering.

George Mycrs, of Stone Reserve, reported that the Indians
of Anaham Lake used ‘“‘black diamond” arrow heads and spear
points for hunting before Europeans introduced gens. Pieces of
“black diamond’”’ were obtained by building fires on the rocks of
the “Black Diamond Mountain”, when the rocks became very
hot, cold water was thrown on them causing a sudden temper-
ature change which fractured the rocks. The small pieces of
“black diamond” were used for axes, arrowheads and other
hunting equipment.
