What is a Sioux war club?

A Sioux war club is a weapon traditionally used by the Sioux Native American tribes. It consists of a wooden handle attached to a heavy, rounded head made of stone, bone, or antler. The head is often carved with intricate designs and may be adorned with feathers, fur, or beads. War clubs were primarily used for close combat and were swung with great force to deliver blunt trauma to the opponent. They were sometimes combined with other weapons, such as spikes or blades, to increase their effectiveness. Although primarily intended for warfare, Sioux war clubs also held cultural and spiritual significance and were often considered sacred objects.
