Close Range

Mohawks get this. Without the spikes, that club is no better than a big stick in my opinion and it can't compete with a fully sharpend, throwable if necessary, hunting knife which can kill faster, move quicker and be handled easier.

 Mid Range 

This is a tough one. The Tomahawk is a fierce weapon which utilises the effect of metal on wood to ensure blows are extra effective with a improved swinging effect due to the weight of the metal. The head of the Tomahawk appears to be very sharp, likely sharp enough to cut through bone quickly and efficently but it falls down on it's length vs. the German sword. I think the fact the Tomahawk can also be thrown is a big factor as that means is a ranged and melee weapon in one but when you loose the Tomahawk, it's gone, and neither of the uses of the Tomahawk can be used. I think depending on the scenario, I would go with the Mohawk's Tomahawk here. It can be thrown and used in combat and not to mention, after he's chucked it, be can just switch to another weapon.

 Long Range 

I am saying the Mohawk Bow for this one. With more arrows to fire than the one spear and if absolutley necessary, the arrow can be used as a melee weapon, I reckon the further range of the Bow will do the job here.

 Special 

It's defintley a easy one for the German shield here. It's a solid, strong, reliable and useful piece of kit and should keep the user well protected from arrows and some forms of melee attack.

 Overall 

This is a tough one but I guess in the end the Mohawk will have this in my view. I don't know much about this kind of fighters - not my interest but I see the Mohawk warrior winning here. He's got the bow for ranged attacks and with one arrow hit out of his variety of arrows he can fire, it will be a game changer. He's got the quick, lethal and throwable hunting knife, and he's packing two good melee weapons to hold him up for the fight. Overall I'd say the Mohawk here.
