HAWAIIAN

Was the War Club of Native American culture originally called the Tomahawk?

Before the Europeans and other outside enfluences came to Americas.

The evidence isn’t 100% conclusive. But most evidence suggests that the word “tomahawk” was originally applied to certain weapons / tools BEFORE the arrival of Europeans; and quite different to what we think of as “tomahawks” today.

In summary: -

[1] The word derives from Algonquin “tamahak” or “tamahakan”.

[2] In the early 1600’s (when Europeans were first coming into contact with the tribes of the North American interior), “tomahawks” included a variety of STONE-headed, wooden-handled tools and weapons. So, yes, that would include war clubs of at least some types or sizes.

[3] A little later, there are references to “tomahawks” that included not just stone-headed implements; but also those with metal-heads; and even plain wooden clubs.

[4] The meaning of “tomahawk” gradually narrowed down to the lightweight hatchet that is familiar to us today.
