A tomahawk is an axe-like tool used by Native Americans. It has a wooden handle, with head made from stone. The stone-head fanned out slightly from the handle, and the edges were sharpened. Contrary to popular belief, Indians did not use tomahawk's for scalping. They were often presented as part of a treaty. The tomahawks used for this purpose were made from polished wood with an ornately engraved silver head.
