Crystal Native American Head Skull with War Bonnet Statue

This extraordinary Native American Head Skull Statue is one of worthwhile collectable statue exclusives, is unique and hand carved. War Bonnets (also called Warbonnets or Headdresses) are feathered headgear traditionally worn by male leaders of the American Plains Indians Nations who have earned a place of great respect in their tribe. Originally they were sometimes worn into battle, but they are now primarily used for ceremonial occasions. In the Native American and First Nations communities that traditionally have these items of regalia, they are seen as items of great spiritual and political importance, only to be worn by those who have earned the right and honour through formal recognition by their people. Many Native American tribes consider the presentation of an eagle feather to be one of the highest marks of respect. An honored person must have earned their feather through selfless acts of courage and honour, or been gifted them in gratitude for their work or service to their community or Nation.

Traditional deeds that bring honour can include acts of valor in battle (including contemporary military service), but also political and diplomatic gains, or acts that helped their community survive and prosper. The esteem attached to eagle feathers is traditionally so high that in many cases, such as a warrior (e.g. Dog Soldiers of the Cheyenne), only 2 or 3 honour feathers might be awarded in a person’s whole lifetime. Historically, the warrior who was the first to touch an enemy in battle and escape unscathed received an eagle feather. When enough feathers were collected, they might be incorporated into a Headdress or some other form of worn regalia. Historically, headdresses were usually reserved exclusively for the tribe’s chosen political and spiritual leaders. Roman Nose, who was one of the most influential Cheyenne warriors of the Plains Indian Wars of the 1860s, was known for his illustrious War Bonnet that was said to protect him during battle.

Several instances record how while wearing his War Bonnet, he rode back and forth before soldiers of the United States Army and, despite being fired upon, was left unscathed. While women have traditional regalia that can include other types of Headdresses, historically women did not wear the most common style of Plains Warbonnet. However, in recent years a few First Nations Women who have attained a very high level of respect in their communities have been ceremonially gifted with headdresses of the type that were formerly only worn by men. Due to their historical importance and status, traditional Native Americans now consider the wearing of headdresses without the express permission of tribal leaders to be an affront to their culture and traditions. Consequently, in cases where non-Native political leaders have been symbolically allowed to wear the headdress, this has caused controversy. Crystal Native American Head Skull with War Bonnet Statue measures: 2.3 inches / 6 cm x 2.5 inches / 6.5 cm x 4 inches / 10 cm.

The methods include hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering and farming.

Primarily the males would go out to hunt and the women would then clean the animal, prepare it for cooking, storing, and for other resources. Native American would use the animal for not only food but for things like clothing, weapons, tools and other useful objects. Majority of the tribes got their food from hunting big and small game. Aboriginals from the Great Plains, like Cree for example relied on hunting Bison. Because of the Bison being such a large animal, the Cree would lead the bison off a cliff. There was also more conventional hunting methods like using a bow and arrows, spears, tomahawks, snares and traps. The men from the tribe would go out on hunts to get large game like deer, moose, caribou, elk, buffalo, and bear as well as small game like rabbits, beaver, and muskrat. They would also hunt turkey, ducks and other fowl. Native American on the Hunt Statue measures: 6 inches / 15 cm x 17 inches / 43 cm x 17.5 inches / 44.5 cm.

Hand-painted in bronze finish to give a high-quality antique look without sacrificing the details. Great addition to any Native American Indian collection. Geronimo (“the one who yawns“; June 1829 – February 17, 1909) was a prominent leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band of the Apache people. From 1850 to 1886, Geronimo joined with members of three other Chiricahua Apache bands, the Tchihende, the Tsokanende and the Nednhi, to carry out numerous raids, as well as fight against Mexican and U.S. military campaigns in the northern Mexico states of Chihuahua and Sonora and in the southwestern American territories of New Mexico and Arizona.

Geronimo‘s raids and related combat actions were a part of the prolonged period of the Apache, United States conflict, which started with American settlement in Apache lands following the end of the war with Mexico in 1848. He repeatedly evaded capture and life on a reservation, and during his final escape, a full quarter of the U.S. standing army pursued him and his followers. When Geronimo was captured on September 4, 1886, he was the last Native American leader to formally surrender to the U.S. military. He spent the last 20 years of his life as a prisoner of war. He died at the Fort Sill hospital in 1909, as a prisoner of war. Geronimo is buried at the Fort Sill Indian Agency Cemetery, among the graves of relatives and other Apache prisoners of war. Geronimo Going to Battle on Horse Statue measures: 5 inches / 13 cm x 11.5 inches / 30 cm x 11 inches / 28 cm.

Great addition to any Native American collection. Ideal for friends or relatives who appreciate Native American heritage. This is NOT an “Indian Product“. It is NOT designed, produced, or assembled by an Indian. Chief Sitting Bull (1831-1890) was a Teton Dakota Native American Chief who united the Sioux tribes of the American Great Plains against the white settlers taking their tribal land.

The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty granted the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota to the Sioux, but when gold was discovered there in 1874, the U.S. government ignored the treaty and began to remove native tribes from their land by force. The ensuing Great Sioux Wars culminated in the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, when Chief Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse led united tribes to victory against General George Armstrong Custer. Chief Sitting Bull was shot and killed by Indian police officers on Standing Rock Indian Reservation in 1890, but is remembered for his courage in defending native lands. Chief Sitting Bull on Horseback Statue size: 12.5 inches / 32 cm x 8.6 inches / 22 cm x 15.9 inches / 40 cm.
