It was a joke for Squantos....I think that stuff is an urban (rural legend) however tribal folks have killed large predators with spears historically and not always in a group.
Did not Bill Hickock allegedly kill a grizzly with a knife in his early adulthood?

I think that Masai tribesmen had to kill an adult male lion with only their shield and short spear to earn their manhood.

I saw a hunting video of Chuck Adams ...bow hunter extream who stood up about 12 yards from the biggest Kodiak I ever saw and it looked like a cartoon when he drew back and stuck that arrow in that bears "A" zone. The bear stood up, looked at Adams and just walked away......bled out really slow as I remember the tracking time.
What they didn't show was the three guides with an arsenal of magnums, cocked, aimed and 2.5 pounds of pressure on a three pound trigger already....
Amazing video......Old CA is one dumb MoFo IMHO............but he's got quite a story to tell his grandkids. Who no doubt will think gramps is whack in the head !
Stay Safe !
