Indian & Spear Statue - Fishing or Fighting?

Before the White Man entered Indian Territory, spears were used by the Indians for hunting - even fishing. The spears were inexpensive and easy to make. Most men had one.

But, the spear on this statue is more elegant that the fishing spear would be. Plus, the Indian, from the Hille Indian tribe, is all decked out in his attire. Don't think the Native Americans wore a headdress to fish! This Hille Indian Tribal Chief has a 3 feather "hat". His spear has the bird figurine on it. 

Statue is made of resin and has been hand painted. It is BIG - 20 inches high.
