The native americans. A people truly supressed by the Europeans/whitemen. From the atrocities of the early settlers, to the recent events with the dakota pipeline. But, on thing is for sure. Nearly all were some of the best warriors in our know history. They fought with tooth a claw and a grand scale against the imperialistic invaders of their homelands. From east to west, the Natives battled greatly. Today we look at some of the best warriors of these cultures. The Mohawks of new york and the Lakota sioux of South dakota. While very different fighters, both fought with terrifying ability in combat. While both did fight for the white invaders, Many rebelled against them. Today we look at the masterful warriors america. The best of the native warriors. The Mohawk and the Lakota Sioux. WHO. IS. DEADLIEST!!!!

(I will be using the sioux from a point were they had no guns while I will be giving the mohawk a firearm. This is becuase while the musket is a gun, the other option is giving the Lakota henry rifles and revolvers. Also the musket does have power but lacks rate of fire and reliability so it is at least somewhat even).

 Mohawk .

The Mohawk were/are a group of people native to what is now upstate new york. These peoples were known for being a very dangerous group of Americans. Most mohawk males had high levels of training and would often fight off other groups of native such as the mohican and delaware peoples. By the time of the british occupation of the state, the Mohawks rebelled at first. But after a time, many would join the English as advanced commandos in the french indian war. After the american revolution some would leave with the english, but many stayed in the americans. Soon the mohawk would find that the new american government was not in their interest. While many resisited the new laws against them, many went west over the appalachian mountains. To this day, the mohawk people still live in the areas around their native lands in new york.

Lokata sioux.

The lokata sioux Were/are a group of people native to south dakota. While not know as being a renouned people at first, they grew into one of the most skilled plains tribes after the horse made it to the americas through the spaniards. This made them a truely powerful group, gaining a massive territory and becoming a large threat to peoples like the pawnee and comanche. After the americans arrived in the west the Lakota began conflict almost instantly. While they a first found peace after a time, it soon devolved into nearly constant war. By the late 1860s the lakota began to use the ghost dance and were know to do so even after americas banning of it. By the late 1800s the lakota land was less then a quarter of the pervious size that it held. Even now the lokata sioux are fighting the whites. In the recent dakota pipe line event, they were being abused by the american police in ways that had not been seen since the civil rights movement in the early 60s.
