Hey nice try BUT the Shark tooth club you have as"MAORI" is from hawaii and the stingray spear was used for fishing. Im Maori from NZ my first language was maori and i have been trained in our native fighting arts such as the use of the taiaha, and Mere/Patu, Maori did not have throwing weapons. In the pre english times only pussys threw things, hand to hand combate was the only way to go. I am currently living in the BioBio region of Chile (the heart of Mapuche and Peuenche lands) and from my point of veiw the Mapuche art of fighting and their weapons are no match for that of a Mere and/or the fighting art of Maori, size also matters, no offence but the average mapuche is about the size of a 12yr old Maori. Try this for a good fight, an English Solider vs Maori (gunpowder and steel vs greenstone and wood) or Spanish Conquistador vs Mapuche (steel vs sticks) in both cases the "savages" over came odds and did quite well the mapuche held out for like 400 years and the maori made england sign a treaty. anohter point, it sucks how people get Polynesian countries mixed up when it comes to weapons and tattoos.
