Anglo and European metalworkers developed the tomahawk pipe, named for its dual function as an axe and a smoking device, specifically for trade with Great Lakes Indians. This wrought-iron tomahawk pipe is missing its original wooden shaft. It is inlaid with a copper crescent moon, the signature mark of French Canadian blacksmith Joseph Jourdain, who came to Green Bay in 1798. He first worked for the French Canadian trader Jacob Franks and later was hired by the Green Bay Indian Agency after the United States government began to regulate the western fur trade.
