This Woodland-style arrow was made for the Anishinabek: The People of this Place exhibit. It is a replica of a hunting or war-style arrow. The shaft is of dogwood shoot (Cornus), peeled, smoothed, and straightened using heat and an arrow-wrench. The carved, bulbous nock is a style commonly found on Woodland arrows. The fletching is made of pigeon feathers and is held to the shaft with wrappings of deer-sinew and hide-glue. The point is made of Onondaga Chert and mounted with pine-pitch, then bound with deer-sinew. There is no finish of any kind on the shaft as the shaft is made in the old style using shoots (note leaf-nodes), it will eventually warp, as the warrior/hunter will not be there to constantly straighten and care for it, as was normally done. It is signed by the maker, William Vonderhey, and serialized on the shaft with the number 042495-B.
