Kazanshin's '''"Mercy of Amaterasu, I'm earlier than Pygmy!?" '''edges:

CQC: The dirk is longer indeed. However, I'm actually giving the dagger a chance here. Going by modern Okichitaw, the Cree were very skilled knife fighters. The dirk is longer, yes, but considering the Highlanders aren't really the best knife fighters around, the Cree may be able to gain an edge in CQC with quicker movements around the Highlander. However, I have to compare the weapons to each other and, when doing so, we're looking at a dager vs a longer dagger. Edge: Highlander/Jacobite

Close range: This is easier. The tomahawk, while devastating, is slower and less versatile in close combat than the broadsword. Sure, it can be thrown, but if the two want to fight at long range they'd probably use their long range weapons instead and only use these weapons for close quarters, making the tomahawk being thrown a rather unlikely thing. Up close, the quicker and longer broadsword gets the edge. Edge: Highlander

Mid range: The lochaber axe is definitely a destructive weapon. However, it's quite cumbersome and a highlander will be hard pressed to hit a nimble Cree with it. The Cree, on the other hand, will have a much easier time hitting the Jacobite with the lance. Added to the greater versatility of the lance (which can be used as both a thrusting and slashing weapon) and the disarming training of the Cree, this is the First Nation's first edge. Edge: Okichitaw

Long range 1: First off, I seriously doubt the Murdoch pistol had a range of 75 to 100 meters. That's musket level, something that's simply not possible for such a small, smoothbore sidearm. I'd say the actual range would be of around 20 meters. With that said, the edge goes to the Cree bow. It has a longer range, a greater rate of fire and just as effective against unarmored enemies. Edge: Okichitaw

Long range 2: This is similar to the rifle vs musket comparison in Elgb's Maori vs Bushranger battle. The rifle is deadlier, more accurate and has a longer range while the musket has a superior rate of fire. I honestly think this is very situation dependent, so I'll wait until the scenario of the battle is revealed before giving an edge. Edge: TBA

Special: This is interesting. On one hand, the gunstock war club is the heavier weapon and can be used to block a parry better than the claymore. Added to that, if what I've heard from Elgb is right, the gunstock club can be equipped to the rifle itself, which would gice it a distinct edge. The claymore, on the other hand, is obviously more lethal and likely quicker. While this is very close,  I think I'm actually giving the edge to the Gunstock war club for it's ability to be instantly deployed while wielding the rifle. Edge: Okichitaw

Shield: Rawhide shields suck. Period. Edge: Highlander

Fina verdict: I'll actually wait until the scenario is announced before finishing my vote. If this battle takes place in a Canadian forest, the win will likely go to the Cree. If it's in an environment that favours the Highlander, then the edge will go to the Highlander. Deadliest Warrior: TBA
