Make a Native Flatbow of the Algonquin

Part 1 of 2 of how to make Indigenous Algonquin self bow video This Canada Day, I decided to make an aboriginal archery bow of the area I live in (Ontario, North America). For Part 2 of 2:    • 90lb Flatbow Plant String Speed?   I harvested the Canadian maple wood board from a sawmill near Algonquin park, and for my first testings after tillering, the bow turned out to be 94lb@26". This is likely too heavy to be a historical native bow in my opinion, so in part 2 I'll shave some weight off and finish it. As a novice bowyer, I'd rather get a slightly shorter draw length than breaking it. Due to the heavy draw weight, I think the manila hemp plant fiber string I have is not strong enough. Historically the Algonquin natives before the arrival of the Europeans would have used dogbane, sinew, or rawhide for example, based on what we know from the native Americans of the Eastern Woodlands. The finishing would be of animal fat and due to the region's humidity, sinew backing is not preferred. The archery technique they typically used was a tertiary Algonquin pinch draw, which usually used nockless arrows and is limited in draw weight. History of Algonquin natives (from Wikipedia): Algonquin people are an Indigenous people of Eastern Canada. They speak the Algonquin language, a divergent dialect of the Ojibwe language, which is part of the Algonquian language family.[1] Culturally and linguistically, they are closely related to the Odawa, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Oji-Cree, with whom they form the larger Anicinàpe (Anishinaabeg). The Algonquin people call themselves Omàmiwinini (plural: Omàmiwininiwak) or the more generalised name of Anicinàpe. Though known by several names in the past, such as Algoumequin (at the time of Samuel de Champlain), the most common term "Algonquin" has been suggested to derive from the Maliseet word elakómkwik (IPA: [ɛlæˈɡomoɡwik]): "they are our relatives/allies".[2][3] The much larger heterogeneous group of Algonquian-speaking peoples, who, according to Brian Conwell, stretch from Virginia to the Rocky Mountains and north to Hudson Bay, was named after the tribe. Most Algonquins live in Quebec. The nine Algonquin bands in that province and one in Ontario have a combined population of about 11,000. The Algonquin are original natives of southern Quebec and eastern Ontario in Canada. Today they live in nine communities in Quebec and one in Ontario. The Algonquin were a small tribe that also lives in northern Michigan and southern Quebec and eastern Ontario. Traditionally, the Algonquins were practitioners of Midewiwin (the right path). They believed they were surrounded by many manitòk or spirits in the natural world. French missionaries converted many Algonquins to Catholicism in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, many of the people practice traditional Midewiwin or a syncretic merging of Christianity and Midewiwin. In the earliest oral history, the Algonquins say they migrated from the Atlantic coast. Together with other Anicinàpek, they arrived at the "First Stopping Place" near Montreal. While the other Anicinàpe peoples continued their journey up the St. Lawrence River, the Algonquins settled along the Kitcisìpi (Ottawa River), a long-important highway for commerce, cultural exchange and transportation. Algonquin identity, though, was not fully realized until after the dividing of the Anicinàpek at the "Third Stopping Place". Scholars have used the oral histories, archeology, and linguistics to estimate this took place about 2000 years ago, near present-day Detroit. After contact with the Europeans, especially the French and Dutch, the Algonquin nations became active in the fur trade. This led them to fight against the powerful Iroquois, whose confederacy was based in present-day New York. In 1570, the Algonquins formed an alliance with the Montagnais to the east, whose territory extended to the ocean. ________________________________
