Many Indian tribe are not aggressive in war tactics, but the Haida people were feared of their skills as seamen. They often stormed others villages and camps taking valuables such as copper and blankets. They also took many slaves for their use and helpfulness in production. They sailed in dung out canoes make from a single cedar tree. During war in the sea they would throw a 40 to 50 pound rock at enemy ships so that the rock would break the boat and they would sink. After contact with eh Europeans who rather trade than fight, there were not as many wars. So they Haida people started to attack the settlers ship and successfully took over half a dozen European ships.
