Wrapped with love

I love "accidentally" coming home to my parents and finding my birthday presents on the kitchen counter. So many arrowheads I could puke! All these man-made arrowheads were found mostly in southern Alberta over the last 4 decades by my mother's two brothers. I took some pictures so you can share the excitement with me... detailed descriptions at the bottom!

"I have also given you the rattle. Dad had got this from some old Indian from the Blood Indian Reserve at Brocket, in exchange for some work he'd done. Apparently it had been handed down through time in the family. It's an original"
