 Erie Indian Tribe History
Historically little is definitely known of the Erie and their political and social organization, but it may be inferred to have been similar to that of the Huron.
It is further learned from the Jesuit Relation for 1654 that on the political destruction of their country some Hurons sought asylum among the Erie, and that it was they who were actively fomenting the war that was then striking terror among the Iroquois tribes.
The Erie were reputed brave and warlike, employing only bows and poisoned arrows, although the Jesuit Relation for 16,56 declares that they were unable to defend one of their palisades against the Iroquois on account of the failure of their munitions, especially powder, which would indicate that they used firearms.

 Erie (tribe) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the competition in the fur trade, the Erie alienated the surrounding tribes by encroaching on their territories.
Though rumored to use poison tipped arrows, the Erie were disadvantaged in armed conflict by having few firearms (If the Erie tribe used poison on their arrows, it would make them the only tribe in North America to do so).
Beginning in the mid-1550s, the Erie and other tribes were in battle with their enemies, the Iroquois.

Representatives of this tribe appear as parties to the Treaty of Greenville, 1795, and to treaties concluded in 1807 and 1817 by which lands in this State were relinquished to the Whites.
Little is known of this tribe until the final struggle which resulted in its destruction as a nation at the hands of the Iroquois and the incorporation of most of the remnants among the conquerors.
