metal spear

The spear point is a hand wrought piece of metal work that was found at Twin One Creek by Ralph Dan Jr. when he was looking for cedar roots. It is leaf shaped with a defined spine and blade with a socket. It was given to Johnny for further research due to his role researching Lil’wat traditional territory. It may be a decorative piece or it may be a weapon. This item will need more research but Johnny is confident it is not of First nation origin. It could have belonged to an early explorer who made their way up the lakes into the interior. Johnny likes to believe it was an early Spanish explorer who made his way inland and left it along the way. The spear also has a map indicating where it was found.
