Artifacts of Native American origin are objects used or made by the native American people. Artwork, tools, sacred artifacts, and weapons all fall into this category. There have been archaeological finds of organic materials including remains of animals and plants, along with Indigenous artifacts. Spearheads or arrowheads are a reminder of the ancient hunting techniques of Native American Indians. Their edges are durable and sharp due to being made of hard stones, including quartz, flint, and other flaking stones. Bindings were used to secure them to spears and arrows. Additionally, animal bones were also used to make tools. It was Native Americans who discovered tobacco and made it available to European settlers. Indians of the Plains generally used wooden stems and carved stone bowls for their pipes. There have long been pipe ceremonies that used calumets, either to mark religious ceremonies or to seal treaties.

The Lithic artifacts are made up of ground and chipped stone tools as well as byproducts associated with tool production. Throughout Indigenous history, chipped stones were utilized to make tools. Axes, celts, sinkers, plummets, hammerstones, and many other types of ground stone tools were manufactured. Depending on the local stone resources, Native peoples used different types of stone materials in the manufacture of tools and projectile points.

Native American culture has preserved many pottery pieces over the centuries. Three thousand years of pottery making have been passed down from generation to generation on the Indians' land. Traditionally, pottery was made from clay and spun or pinched to store food. A ceramic vessel served as a container for cooking and storing food in Native American culture. Stone effigies were also made by Indians, but they are relatively rare
