Amadeus, I was just talking to a Chippewa geologist, who mentioned that West
Coast Canadian Natives (Haida?? I'll have to check) used to mine native
copper found in the area, which they then beat into useful implements....
They also traded their copper to other tribes.  So there was limited use of
metal pots in some hg cultures.  [In case there weren't enough skulls to go
around ;-) ].
