You still haven't proven me wrong. No, not just knives, we have weapons also that the whites gave us as when we years ago put arrows in you and took them. Now we buy them and most of us are proficient with them. Concerning the drunkenness, you people back in the old days got us to drink "fire water" so you could easily kill us. We smoked peyote and used it for medicinal purposes. We were a Proud people and our roots run deep today still. We were a peaceful Nation until we were attacked, not much unlike your Confederate states were attacked by the Union. A lot of you even believe the main reason for the un-civil Civil War was to free the black man. It was because the South was sending a lot of produce to other countries and getting, for want of a better word, rich. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. lol !
