Another thing some people used were buffalo hair/tails, otter fur, and rabbit fur. Some of them were wrapped with furs, trade cloth, some were painted/dyed in different styles, and some were just plain. Some of us tend to use them for different things in the modern age such as powwows, which we use these to lead in the grand entry. Some of them also had feathers of them ranging from different variety of birds. Not to mention there were different shapes and like you said, sizes of these items. I hope this helped you get more insight about lances.
I like the story that a Cheyenne man told me at a reenactment once. Sometimes the warriors would have a long tail..like a fabric belt or such and during battle, if it wasn't going their way, a friend would have driven the lance through the cloth into the ground. Meaning that warrior will fight and die in that spot..or fight and win. Pretty incredible as a child I really admired that and was drawn to their stories and culture. Fantastic video and great explanation. I'm passing these stories onto my own offspring now so it continues. These videos are very, very helpful
I saw human scalps in a Texas museum. They were jet black and long, clearly Indian not white or AA. I was taken aback by the pristine condition of the scalps.
Can't say that I know but Native American shields, well the classic ones from the plains, were hide. So, I can't imagine well but with luck it might cause the ball to refract. I remember there was an early American history duel where the loose hanging coat worn by one party killed the momentum and trajectory of the ball enough to save the man.
The only metal native Americans forged was copper all the way from Alaska to haida gwai down to Brazil and a little on the eastern coast and some gold all before Europeans showed up with iron and cheap steel

Yes, the black decoration was the warrior`s medicine or good karma, his shield and horse would be adorned with a pattern as well.
Thanks David

They believed the scalp gave you the strength of your enemy.also a status symbol

How affective were the shields against cap an ball gun fire?

Wow, just wow. Holy SHIT dude.
ayy these look the ones i got from my uncle/brother
Good video, thanks! Is the lance a repurposed sword?
Hi and thank you. Pretty sure not... it was low quality iron that wouldn't have come from a sword IMO.
I'ma make a combat harness for Gf...
Is it a artifact
Sorry, how do you mean?
What type of wood is the Lance made of?
Wish I knew.
Yucca most likely
