These beautiful
buckskin-wrapped
brass hatchets
are trimmed by
hand with seed
beads,
horsehair, and
feathers. The
Large and Medium
have working
pipes, the Small
is only a
hatchet. The
heart cutout, or
weeping heart,
was a trade
item. This
tomahawk would
have been
present during
talks of war. If
the talks went
well the pipe of
the tomahawk
would be smoked
and passed as a
symbol of peace
then taken out
and buried--the
weapon would not
be used. (This
is where we got
the phrase "Bury
the hatchet.)
