Spears were actually quite rare weapons and many stone points labelled "spear head" in collections today are really knives.
Not just the Algonquin (also called the Algonkin) but allof the eastern woodlands tribes would find a tall, straight sapling about seven feet tall. This would be cut down, stripped of twigs, leaves and bark and further straightened by heating if necessary.
Hardening the sharpened point in a fire was an early way of making the "business end"; later points of flint or other stone were made and eventually metal knife blades obtained in trade from Europeans were fitted to spear shafts.
