The evidence problem for pre-Columbian naval warfare

Are any pre-Columbian naval battles in the Americas well documented?

Not in surviving detail; waterborne fighting likely occurred on lakes and rivers, but written evidence is sparse and much oral memory was lost.

Surviving evidence is thin because many traditions were oral and conquest and disease disrupted the communities that transmitted them. A lack of written battle narratives does not prove that waterborne warfare was absent. Fighting around the lake city of Tenochtitlan points to the use of human-powered canoes and rafts. Spanish use of sails reveals a technological contrast rather than an absence of organized Indigenous warfare on lakes and rivers.
