What kind of technology did native american used early on?
Hi guys, im doing a powerpoint presentation for my high school project. So just wondering, what kind of technology can i talk about for native Americans?
The canoe and the kayak are examples of Native American technology, no one has been able to improve on. Snowshoes and goggle were other technologies.
Hand weaving (weaving with out a loom)
The process of tapping trees, to make maple syrup in North America and rubber in South America.
The process of curing hides to make non perishable.
Dog sleds and the travis.
Traps and snares for hunting and fishing
.
Stone age tools. Look up flint napping. There’s some cool videos out there.

Um not much. Sharpened stones, natural holes in stones to pound grain or the likes.
Heres a stament from a website
The Sinagua were also skilled craftsmen. They formed stone tools such as axes, knives, hammers, and manos and metates for grinding corn. They also crafted bone into awls and needles, wove beautiful garments of cotton, and fabricated ornaments out of sea shells, turquoise, and local stone — argillite — for personal adornment.
I doubt you will find more info that this, not much.
