I own examples of all of these guns but I would like to point out that for example Birmingham ketland trade pistols or barrels used by people like Kilpatrick's or the revolutionary committee guns which were shipped to colonial America were decent quality guns and with Birmingham proofed barrels, the trade musket phenomena was what was traded with non whites, north American natives or Africans.
I won examples of everything I am discussing here and the knowledge comes from researching them. I don't post guns anymore (used to) because of >post guns
Posters particularly since vatBlack folk started with it.
It's Indians, warfare with other Indians mainly as they were fairly hot commodities for obvious reasons. If you're asking "How did the very first Indian obtain a gun?" In a temporary sense it would have been a unnamed Pech. The first to actually get to keep one would be another unamed (Taino, or precursor that whole thing's up in the air) after the destruction of The Nativity, the first European colony established.

>Ice, Seals, and Guns: Late 19th-Century Alaska Native Commercial Sealing in Southeast Alaska >Aron L. Crowell
Starting in about 1870, indigenous residents of southeast Alaska intensified their traditional hunting of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) in order to produce surpluses of skins and oil for trade with the Alaska Commercial Company. The most important hunting ground was the head of Yakutat Bay, where thousands of seals were taken annually in June and July at the ice floe rookery near Hubbard Glacier and processed on shore at Keik’uliyáa sealing camp. Firearms obtained in trade were essential tools for mass harvesting. A multisource study of Keik’uliyáa and the historical ecology of 19th-century sealing at Yakutat was undertaken during 2011 and 2013 by the Smithsonian Institution in collaboration with the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe, employing oral history, archaeology, archival sources, and photographic documentation from the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition.
by the way, if you are the gentleman with the overpriced 'canoe guns' you claimed coat 1500$, sorry to tell you, they are fake, could not reply because the thread had ended when I saw it. The vast majority of 'canoe guns' are fake, yours appear to be made from north African pieces made for the tourist trade in the 60s/70s

Trade initially. The French and Dutch absolutely flooded the natives with cheap firearms in the early colonization period. They were virtually given away in exchange for trade items. They used to teach in Quebec that the reason the Natives are still around in such large numbers is because they were very well armed and were able to hold of total domination efficiently. In the late 1800s there were some Indians who actually started manufacturing their own guns but that came very late. Notably the Cherokee in the US and Mayas in Mexico. The Cherokee simply learned how to manufacture guns by reverse engineering. They were part of the tribes deemed civilized, meaning semi-integrated, adopting many European practices like modern (for the time) metalworking and gunsmithing. The Maya in south eastern Mexico already had experience producing blow guns and simply paid British gunsmiths in gold, crops, and shipbuilding goods to train their blowgun makers how to make clones of British muskets and later rifles. This was during the Maya caste wars when the Mayas overthrew the Spanish speaking Mexicans and were semi-independent and petitioning hard to become a British protectorate.
Whites have allied themselves with injuns quite often to deal with other hostile injun tribes and when they were done, the red men kept their guns. Sure, they did sell them guns, but most of their firearms came basically as military aid in order to help fighting against other tribes. That's how they learned musketry and mounted warfare, they didn't just magically learn how to use firearms by buying them.
they traded bison skins and beads for guns, powder, and shot

A series of slip n slides to and from the european colonies enabled them to trade over longer distances
They raped norse women and their men couldn't do anything about it
Write a humilition erotica about it. You might get some sales from both horny women and angry horny men.
Bought them. Same way every tribal group acquired guns during the era of colonialism.
Injun poontang is powerful stuff.
It's Indians, warfare with other Indians mainly as they were fairly hot commodities for obvious reasons. If you're asking "How did the very first Indian obtain a gun?" In a temporary sense it would have been a unnamed Pech. The first to actually get to keep one would be another unamed (Taino, or precursor that whole thing's up in the air) after the destruction of The Nativity, the first European colony established.
They did not have metallurgy so probably didn't make them from scratch. Examples of native-built stocks exists though. Most would have been trades.
We were over here giving them combs and shiny rocks and shit in return for stuff and then some moron offered them fricking guns.
The same way they obtained the tomahawk. They paid sailors for them.

They traded away nootka sound
They traded for, plundered, or directly bought them from the manufacturer. Read up on Savage's history

The brutal savages murdered Euro settlers and stole their belongings
The same way they got wine
Much like how you acquire guns, by buying them from someone else.
Actual, unironically American Education everyone
t. American
We fricking sold them guns
French, British and Spanish colonies were arming indians ever since they stepped on the continent.
